Note that the term "camel case" has ambiguous usage. Some use it to
refer to *both* of "nameWithSeveralWords" and "NameWithSeveralWords".
I prefer to use the term "title case" to refer unambiguously to
"NameWithSeveralWords", leaving the term "camel case" to describe the
case with the humps only in the middle :-)
PEP 8 recommends TitleCase for class names. The use of camelCase for
instances and method names seems to come from (at least) Java, but PEP
8 prefers lowercase_with_underscores.
