Upper case keywords are as ugly in Ada as they are in Oberon (it's one
of the things about Oberon I don't like.)
Lower case keywords for me and This_Is_An_Identifier or
this_is_an_identifier type identifiers but _never_ ThisIsAnIdentifier.
I regard the latter as not as easy to read as using underscores.
