Well, they will if you add the entire label to the dictionary, but none I'm
aware
of will break up words based on mixed-case. Ultraedit will break up words
on underscores - didn't know that until I just tried it I can make it ignore
mixed-case words, but not break them apart. (It does support multiple user
dictionaries, so you could have a dictionary-per-project defining all the
approved labels.) -Wm
