Function pointers are not callable (you need to dereference them) so it is arguable that they should be capitalized.  It would be nice to include some rationale of why you’re picking one thing or another in coding standard paragraph.

Err, yeah, of course function pointers are callable.  I meant to say C++ member pointers :)
