Hi Matt and Kassen!

Some of us (me, for one) have a liking to lower case (and underscores)
for some reason, which probably contributed to the existing lower case
naming. However, we also felt that uppercase names for other stuff
(Object, Event, UGen, STK UGens) was best, too. As we've all noted,
this isn't so good for consistency. Another case of on-the-fly API
design... After trying out the new uppercase system for a while (I had
to convert all the examples and test them), it did grow on me. Either
that or I was delusional...

Yup, I guess we should see in coming months how this works out.

Good idea. Since we are making api changes, we should update these as
well. Thoughts from others?

Those risks reminds of something... oh yeah: chuck.
Best,
Ge!
