I like underscore in names of variables.  But I do not like at all the current
Ada tradition of using Upper case for first letter as in

       This_Is_An_Identifier

I find this ugly and hard on the eye to read. I like all lower case for
variable names, as it is easier to read. Less variation in texture and
form

       this_is_an_identifier

my 1.5 cents ofcourse.
