Have no fear, I didn't mean to imply that I was considering using
camelCase (I've recently excised that from the Test::Unit code). Rather,
I was replying to Dave's suggestion, that we should go with the standard
and use #setup, by pointing out that an established standard, JUnit,
uses two words for its set up method. FYI, sunit does, too.

Sorry if I caused any confusion.
