OMG, I almost never use capital letters for variables :-O

But then again, my variable names are almost never as simple as
#declare aaa = 45;
They're partial sentences(!)--like...
#declare rotation_for_my_cylinder_object_around_ground_heightfield = 45;

Lots of typing of course--thank God for cut-and-paste! ;-)

But for me, this removes a 'level of abstraction' in my scene code, so I easily
know where to go when there's a problem, or I want to change something without
having to think too hard about it.

The trouble comes if I want to post my code--then I have to go back and
*simplify* the names. Using capital letters for that is probably a very good
idea!
