Yeah. I'm still puzzled about why that isn't the default. Or why that 
choice even exists at all.

Does someone really think that "Can't Delete" is easier to understand 
than "cantdelete"? Or "3D" is easier to understand than "threed"? Or 
"Text Size" easier than "textSize"?

And why is "Width" easier to understand than "width"?

For that matter, why is "Foreground Fill" a replacement for the 
combination of "foregroundColor" and "foregroundPattern"?
