Whatever floats your boat. I don't follow a lot of Michael Wallace's suggestions, but that's not at
all a value judgement on his conventions. The thing I think is key is consistency. Whether you
prefer lower or upper case for IDL reserved words, pick one and stick to it. There is nothing that,
to me, suggests lack of care as when I see people mix conventions in code. Just because we sit in
front of computers for a living doesn't mean we can't be craftsmen (craftspeeples?) and make our
code creations look good.
