So, first, we use humbleCamelCase for function names and ProudCamelCase for
variable names, so both will get high counts with this kind of grep.

However, our naming conventions are known to not be consistently enforced
across the codebase. We've tried to ask that new code generally follow the
new guidelines where doing so doesn't introduce horrible inconsistency. So
for a class whose base class's virtual methods all use ProudCamelCase
method names, it doesn't make sense to add one new humbleCameCase extra
method. But variables almost never have any consistency concerns such as
this, and for an entirely new backend such concerns should only really
apply to the generic Target interfaces that it is implementing. The rest of
the code should be able to follow the coding standards here IMO.
