Ok, kicking in from the side line ... I am very pleased
with the initiative.

Exactly the reason why i don't use them. I like a compact code style
so the few spaces present should stand out as spaces. I often confuse
the underscore with spaces. Its camelCase for me, that is, in my own
programs. But i would certainly say, make the new lib in the style
of what is already there. Don't mix styles.

The latter maybe be true, the former is no argument at all,
and even if so, whats wrong with Microsoft apart from a
few of their operating systems and most of their programms?
I did not know they invented camel, (lets look, i think
i have some old basic programs on the PET in camel),
and even if they did, lets pick the cherries. (But probably
they copied it from someone too ... ;-)

Well anyway, nice that this is all hapening!!
