LOL. That's the way that _most_ languages do it, I believe. C is one of the odd ones in that it isn't all that common there. Most everywhere else though it's normal to capitalize type names. So, I wouldn't say that it's really the case that the practice is starting to spread so much as anyone who hasn't been capitalizing their type names is likely from a C background and is likely the odd man out as far as what's typical goes. It's typical in most object-oriented languages to capitalize type names. - Jonathan M Davis
