ActuallyIFoundItJustAsEasyToReadTheSeperatedByCapitalsVersionAsTheUnderscores
Version  Really.  The format of this comment is 8-), but the semantics are
not.   What it REALLY gets down to is what you are use to reading.  I think
that you may be supprised to find out just how good humans are at parsing
aritrary things.  Just how do you think you can tell where the word seperators
are in the spoken language of a fluent (or for that matter, not fluent),
rapid speaker???
