digitalmars.D - Bikeshedding alert: Pragma naming convention

Do you have any preferences regarding the naming convention for 
compiler pragmas? http://dlang.org/pragma.html seems to suggest 
all_lowercase_and_underscors for names consisting of multiple 
words – other opinions?

I vote in favor of camelCase because it's the style we use for non-type 
identifiers virtually everywhere.

Well, the version identifiers use, erm, something else… ;)

To be fair, that's because most of them use abbreviations...

But if you see that becoming a similar trend with pragmas, then we can 
go down that road I suppose.

I was referring to things like D_NoBoundsChecks, or 
MIPS_O32_SoftFP, which use a mix of Pascal casing and underscores.

Some are based on the macro used C, some are based on the name of the 
operating system, some are based on something else.
