I recently asked myself whether Leo's code should use Pep 8 naming 
conventions. The short answer is an emphatic NO! Such changes would have 
massive impacts on LeoJS and existing Leo scripts.

I entertained this question for two reasons:

- Leo could define an *@alias* decorator to retain compatibility for class, 
function, and method names. This decorator would warn (once) about each 
deprecated name. 

- I was thinking of creating tools to make the required changes 
automatically.

However, the names of routines are only part of pep 8's recommendations. 
The names of many vars and arguments would also have to change. 

*Summary*

I'm never going to change names extensively within Leo. It's a terrible 
idea.
