Well, this is simply an example of how you can't please all of the
people all of the time. You brought these examples up because you didn't
like how those developer's names appeared. You don't want them to
conform to the way the majority of developers do things (fair enough),
you don't want them to conform to the (admitedly ugly) uppercase
convention (fair enough), but you still want the parser to somehow
figure out the names (not fair) and complain about some sort of cultural
imperialism while you're at it (unjustified, and not the first time
you've done it.)
