I have used underscores for a long time, then had to switch to camelcase 
for conformance with an enforced coding style. Annoyed for a while. 
Then, I realised that camelcase may be better because it is visually 
clearer in complicated expressions; I mean '_' is too "shy", it doesn't 
obviously enough tie together parts of a single identifier.
Even '-' (heavily used in languages that allow it) is too "shy".
I also don't like '_' at start/end of ids for similar reasons.
	xyz.foo_._bar (param);
(But it's only me...)
