If I had $1 for every time I had to chase someone away from using 
camelcase I'd be able to sponsor a key at the next conference. And 
honetly I'd actually like to be able to use camelcase and still get easy 
to read output from \d & co.

IOW, this is definitely NOT driven just by porting efforts. I think the 
only reason we don't hear more requests about it is people (grudgingly) 
just muddle on without it.
