I'll bite. Why do you use mixedCamelCase for both member variables and 
methods, and the same style for both private and public fields? This is 
a stylistic topic that almost no one touches, probably because Tango 
conventions seem to be lifted wholesale from Java and that's how Java 
does it, but I find it a bit confusing and annoying when I'm reading 
someone else's code.

Just curious.

I would at least prefix private variables with an underscore, if I were 
setting the style. But if I want to muck about with Tango's internals, I 
can suck it up.
