+[6] Method names follow the 'studlyCaps' (also referred to as 'bumpy case'
+ or 'camel caps') naming convention, with care taken to minimize the
+ letter count. The initial letter of the name is lowercase, and each
+ letter that starts a new 'word' is capitalized.

+[7] Classes should be given descriptive names. Avoid using abbreviations
where possible. Each word in the class name should start with a capital
letter, with words underscore delimited. The class name should be prefixed
with the name of the 'parent set'.
