Do you like the fact that local variables start with capital letter?
Following the same convention used to name classes? It's a very
strange adoption.

I like the way that classes are named using CamelCase (MyClass, for
example) and the instance of MyClass is my_class. That avoids many
confusions in my brain.

This convention used here: MyClass* MC = new MyClass, is an obstacle
for external contributors used to work with C for example, where
almost everything (and every project) uses the unix_hacker style.
