Only for languages that have restictions on the constituent characters
of identifiers or which eschew the use of underscores by
convention. Eg
fooBarBaz
vrs foo_bar_baz
vrs foo-bar-baz
BTW some languages use a lot more punctuation characters, by
convention, as visual cues. Eg from Dylan:
<foo> is a class or type
foo! is a destructive function
foo? is a predicate function
$foo is a constant
*foo* is a module variable
