There are always those who scoff at fashion and boldly proclaim their own
sense of style. :-) Its not that there are any hard and fast "rules" about
such things - just what people are used to seeing and what seems to be
appropriate or what everyone else appears to be doing. Like any fashion,
these things are subject to change when the fashion-makers in the world
start doing something different & their admirers emulate it.

I wonder what J-Lo uses for character case when she writes Ada code? :-)
