Hey Luke,

I suggest you accept the fact that coding style and naming are a matter
of preference and convention. A Glib specific binding should really
adapt the API style, even if there coding style in the implementation
may differ. If JavaScript sources dominantly use camelCase that's what
functions in JavaScript should and usually do conform to. If Glib
interfaces dominantly use under_scores then that's what functions in
Glib libraries should and usually do conform to.

It's as simple as that. Convincing anyone of your preferred coding
and naming style is not going to help. :)

ciao,
