    Certainly.  And I am pretty sure that many binding authors
    will understand why uglyCaps are largely inferior in the area
    of comprehension.

    I have seen Windows identifiers which are nearly that length.  I
    don't mind elaborated identifiers, but whatever their length
    is, they need to be readable.
