For Win4Eu I started using this naming convention systematically:
- names of classes (types): all words capitalized, no underscores
   (Control, Mouse, Application, SolidBrush, ...)
- names of routines (functions): all words capitalized, except the first,
   no underscores (set, ask, getName, ...)
- names of variables and constants: same as for routines
   (true, false, applicationName, ...)
- names of constants, representing Win32 API constants and function names:
   literal copy of original (WM_PAINT, SetVisible, ...)

Because Win32Lib API functions are usually CamelCased, and routines in Win4Eu
have a lower case first letter, I don't have to worry about using similar
names: I can use both the routine setVisible, and the API constant SetVisible.
