Style question: when to use underscores

Convention is, that ClassNames are written in CamelCase while
variable_names and function_names are written in snake_case. Obviously
that is not mandatory, but its good to follow conventions like this,
to make the source easier understandable by fellow programmers.

I personally dislake snakeCamels because they are neither here nor there.

regards,

Brian
