I think life is too short to do this sort of thing - and even though I
like the look of UpDown naming many people will not - indeed I am not
sure that I can actually read it as well (traditionally C has been
written in lower case except for macros, and your brain gets used to
things and does less work when things are as expected).

The golden rule is to follow the conventions of the surrounding code:
I'm pretty bad at doing this (particularly spaces after if etc), but I
try. You can pick up on errors much more easily if the formatting is
uniform,

There is a GNU coding style, but keeping the largest chunks of the code
as uniform as possible is as much as I hope for. There is also a program
(format? was it called?) that was in use with denemo at one time, but
once it has slid for a while it is quite painful to re-start using it.
