Sure, i'll repeat what I said on IRC:
19:47 <@Derick> 1. it's not any standard
19:47 <@Derick> 2. it's ugly as hell
19:47 <@Derick> (it was 'standard' for a while but due to popluair demand we
                removed it from coding_standards)
19:57 <[GeorgeS]> Derick: didn't see the change to CODING_STANDARDS.
                  But that's a good reason.

Please have a look at the archives for this, as I remember having a
discussion about this too. IMO all internal functions use the underscore
way, so why deviate for methods? (This is as far as I go, no need to
discuss this again)
