I've tried just about every combination over the years.  At one
point it was underscores in function names, not in data names.
OOP added enough other basic types of things it got hard to have
a style for each.  Currently, I use lower_case_with_underscores
for local names and CamelCaseMode for functions/methods and
for global data.

I'm considering switching to Mixed_Case_With_Underscores for
global data.  In fact, with the fairly recent addition of
several new languages to my tool kit, it's probably time to
once again re-think my whole naming convention thing.
