Subject: Reflection API: studlyCaps v. underscores?
From: jochem@iamjochem.com (Jochem Maas)

Firstly this is a question rather than an opinion (if anyone wants to 
know I prefer studlyCaps for aethetic reasons so I'm happy with the 
decision to use them!)

Having read all the posts on studlyCaps on this list, and understanding 
that studlyCaps was the std. for all new OO APIs I found the following a 
little odd:

The documentation at
http://sitten-polizei.de/php/reflection_api/docs/language.reflection.html
(pointed to by http://www.php.net/zend-engine-2.php):

<snip>
The reflection API is an object-oriented extension to the Zend Engine, 
consisting of the following classes:


<?php
   class Reflection { }
   interface Reflector { }
   class Reflection_Exception extends Exception { }
   class Reflection_Function implements Reflector { }
   class Reflection_Parameter implements Reflector { }
   class Reflection_Method extends Reflection_Function { }
   class Reflection_Class implements Reflector { }
   class Reflection_Property implements Reflector { }
   class Reflection_Extension implements Reflector { }
?>
</snip>

Shows that the reflection api uses underscores? the build of php I use 
confirms this also.
Is this intentional? (given that reflection is OO & new.)

with thanks,

Jochem.
