I'm glad I'm not the only one. :-)

ClassesLikeThis and methods_like_this sounds like a way to make everybody
unhappy: people who hate MixedCase and people who hate
names_with_underscores.

Ruby uses exactly this same convention. I have no idea why.

Myself, I'm sticking with ClassesLikeThis and methodsLikeThis for my Python
and Ruby code. (I don't like underscores at all!)
