File::Find also uses this. So do a large number of OO modules
which use named parameters. This style follows accepted naming
practice for variables and subs/methods.

Yuck. We look down on that in variable and sub/method names; why
would we prefer it for hash keys?

Ech! This meme should be killed with great prejudice. It makes
code noisy for no good reason. Try reading the source of a
complex Tk GUI and tell me if you don't think it looks ugly and
messy. Four thumbs down to this idea.
