That assumes you have an option to follow your rules.

I'm asking for consideration of the case where you *don't* have an option. 
Mangling identifiers and magic identifier injection are really bad.

Think also of how Qt Creator or any code model needs to do to find the property 
or signal related to "onFooBar". It cannot lowercase the the 'F' because it 
doesn't *know* that the original identifier is "fooBar". It should search all 
identifiers for the one that, mangled, produces the "onFooBar" handler.

The problem with this mangling is that it's not 1:1. That's why I'm calling it 
bad.
