This would make sense to me, but only if you capitalized the first letter of
every Identifier. This to me is like starting a sentence or title (RRS
thinks of identifiers as titles), and the first letter is always
capitalized. Thus,
Is_Valid and Window_is_Valid
Certainly, I'd never think that something like
reserve_Capacity
is correct. But I could see a style where a verb in the middle was in lower
case.
