dot notation

[Sarah]

Hi Richard,

The reason I always use the firstSecond way of naming handlers and 
variables, is that I can select the whole name with a double-click. 
Using first_second or first.second means that you can't do this 
(although the underline one works in Mail, just not in Rev).

If you are going to add dot notation to your excellent style guide, 
please mention this difference.
