If I had $1 for every time I had to chase someone away from using
camelcase I'd be able to sponsor a key at the next conference. And
honetly I'd actually like to be able to use camelcase and still get easy
to read output from \d & co.
IOW, this is definitely NOT driven just by porting efforts. I think the
only reason we don't hear more requests about it is people (grudgingly)
just muddle on without it.
