<<That sounds like a correct assessment to me.  But I wouldn't call it
such a "mess".  We seem to be pretty much converging on the Mixed_Case
convention.  Almost all new code I see is written in that style, and
probably more than half of all old code I've seen.  It's not universal,
but getting there.>>

I agree we are getting there, but there are irritating holdouts (that's
why I dislike Mike Feldman's choice, it teaches a whole generation of
Ada programmers to get used to a "non-standard" style). Still, I agree
that things are converging -- the sooner the better.
