I just was thinking: C++, Java, SuperCollider, Python, SmallTalk, processing, etc. all use studlyCaps as the standard for object and method names rather than the GNU C under_score_object_names or the Max/Pd-style runeverythingtogether (natural for German and Thai speakers, but not most languages AFAIK).
i think its called camelCase in some circles. no idea why, as i can't read Arabic..
I stand corrected, StUdlyCaPs is a little different than CamelCase.

pd symbols can have spaces, so do we even need underscores? i find eather solution incongruous and not idiomatic with pd
Spaces in object names would cause a lot of pain, I think, since Pd doesn't deal with symbols with spaces very well. Even if it did, I think it would make things unclear as to which words are part of the object name, and which are arguments.

Should we make the new Pd libraries use capsAsTheStandardNameFormat? I am beginning to think yes...
