Ada code is case insensitive. So a code reformatter can safely change 
the case of identifiers to a normalized form, in order to avoid variants 
of the same identifier inside a set of source files. If there are no 
underscores to delimit components of a composed identifier, then they 
can/should be merged in a single word. Underscores as separators ensure 
that the composed name remains a composed one.

After that, capitalization of individual components of a composed 
identifier remains a matter of taste. Some people will find it easier to 
read (w.r.t. all lowercase or uppercase).

Just my 2c.
