Well, C is consistent in that it doesn't use underscores there. If no
underscores at all would be used, i wouldn't complain either. But the
way it is now is inconsistent... and using a different naming convention
for "member functions" a.k.a. methods introduces new inconsistency.
I know that it's not possible to kill all existing inconsistencies, but
why introduce new ones?
