Hi!
What happens though when it is a class that you then decide to expose
for folks extending the server? Do we rename classes then?
Personally I prefer to keep naming conventions such that if we change
our minds in the future, we don't have to go around renaming everything.
If you were to adopt the convention of starting class names with capital
letters and using the class name as the file name for the declaration,
virtually all potential conflicts would disappear, at least on Unix and
Linux. That leaves the relatively small subset of system include files
that are common to Posix and Windows, which is manageable; Hint: Don't
name classes "File", "IO", or "String" (OK, I've done two out of these
three).
Upper case class names also makes the code more readable. The downside
is that somebody might think you had ever used Java.
