Oh come on, now - you can't be serious.  It's just not difficult enough 
or arcane enough with any of those choices!  We need to insist on this 
syntax for variables:

LET\'S\ USE\ IT\ LIKE\ THIS

;-) :-P

Didn't there used to be some recommendation for a variable naming 
convention that encoded the type into the name?  Somehow all these 
restrictions on the use of case and underscores reminds me of that 
notation  -- that idea seems to have faded away (thank goodness for 
that, too), and I don't think we should let OE go there either.  I'd 
rather take a small performance hit instead of having to remember even 
more rules about upper/lower case and other naming conventions.  I vote 
to leave well enough alone... JMO.
