Don't forget that I'm only talking about the built-in names like hasAttr,
rowCount, Etc.  These are all pretty short and fairly non-descriptive.  We
aren't the naming police who are going to force people to use one naming
convention for all the module code they write.  I can't think of many
built-ins longer than two words, so you are pretty much agreeing with using
camelCase here.
