IMHO, there are much more important research topics in programming than case
readability.

Title: PPIG discuss: programmer's view of program structure?
Good topic.
I recommend not starting with
the programming literature but with the psychological literature and going
forward. Here are two classic papers on how chess masters perceive board
positions:
"The Mind's Eye in Chess"
Like language, both code production and comprehension involve different
cognitive processes, e.g., see the massive work on Broca's and Wernicke's
aphasia.
If production does not impair comprehension (all other things equal) pair
programming should work.
