I guess it depends if you think the underscore is needed to improve 
readability. "Function names should be lowercase, with words separated 
by underscores as necessary to improve readability."

I don't feel strongly enough about it to change it, but part of that is 
because I'm burned out on the PEP, so I might not be a good one to judge 
at this point. I guess if I clear my head and I were doing it from 
scratch again I'd make them as_dict and as_tuple, so maybe I should 
brush aside inertia and make the change.
