      The Style Guide currently says:

        * Type names and global names should use mixed-case with the first
        letter of each word capitalized (`FooBar`).

      This makes sense as a guide, but might be too dogmatic. For a recent example, it might be better to use atomic<int> rather than the longer and noisier AtomicValue<int>. And this rule has been referenced as an argument for the latter.
