One nice feature this patch could have is to cycle among symbol naming
conventions: CamelCase, snakeCase, hyphen-case, underscore_case (any
others?) and that would make it convenient when a variable name with the
same components are used across modalities; e.g. in config files, json,
xml, protobufs, C/C++ vs. python, and in emacs-lisp-mode and Emacs C code,
cycling among to Fsymbol_name or Ssymbol_name?
