By that token, shouldn't the class/file names follow that convention as  
well?

    - Capitalized_Words_With_Underscores (ugly!)

Instead you have:

    - CapitalizedWords (or CapWords, or CamelCase -- so named because
      of the bumpy look of its letters[4]).  This is also sometimes  
known as
      StudlyCaps.

Followed by:

    - lower_case_with_underscores

I personally stick with Objective-C naming convention, out of habit I  
guess:

CodingGuidelines/Articles/NamingBasics.html

There is no accounting for taste :)
