Here here!  A space is much easier for my brain/eyes to parse as a
separater than mixed case.  This also solves the problem of systems
that map mixed case into all lower/upper-case; on the other hand it
uses up valuable space for those systems that allow  a limited number
of chars for identifiers or file names.
