think of one-word names because at the second word some beauty is
already lost; never felt the same with the underscores.
I like the look of the STL convention, but overall prefer that Camel case distinguishes
between types and values. It completely eliminates the need for a "_type"
suffix in STL-style typedefs, for one.
No problem:
Some_type
some_variable
I haven't actually used this style personally. I've just noticed that
it's the style used throughout Stroustrup's latest book (Programming).
Seems like the obvious next step for the underscore style of naming.
