No problem with that.  It's just, um, that you will die a slow and painful
death if you use CamelCase.  Don't ask me how it works - it's Matz
Magic(TM) built right into your Ruby runtime.

Seriously, I'd just stick with the convention.  Makes things easier for
other folks reading your code.  When in Rome, do as the Romans do...

Kind regards
