At a minimum, there are more multi-word identifiers than there are

Ergo, a multi-word-identifier is easier to type than a
multi_word_identifier or a multiWordIdentifier.
The older I get, the more I like Cobol, and now *ML, for getting this
stuff right.
I do agree that it may be better for multi-word identifiers than camel
case or underscores, as seen in many other languages that the great
unwashed masses have never heard of. I tried it in my writings the same
day.
