Given enough developers, this RFC will not help you attain consistency
without your project, quite the contrary, as each developer will
finally reach for "her preferred way".
It *is* possible to control the coding style of a team, e.g. by preventing commits that violate the style. I made the experience that there is no single right way of naming, but consistency within a project is very helpful. A new senior developer will adjust to the coding style of the team. Plus if consistency can be recognized by developers, then deviations are also easier to recognize for junior developers.
