Well, fortunately I hadn't started with my version yet ;)

Ok, some comments on your draft:

1) It's in HTML, right? I just ask because of the, well, slightly extended
header ("Indentation ..."), the "<ul> ... <ul>" list and the slightly
inefficient "#include <PenguinPlay/FileName.h>" ;)

2) "except class members are capForStartOfAllButTheFirstWord. I think this
is insane because". I agree. It is insane. BTW - I always use the
AllWordsStartWithCaps version.

3) "_every_ PPlay header file is to be gotten by: #include
<PenguinPlay/FileName.h>"  and  "So ppgGC is in ppgGC.h. I think this is
the simplest thing, but most people seem to used small letters, so ppgGC
would be gc.h."
I would prefer #include <PenguinPlay/Gfx/gc.h> (or .../GC.h), i.e. resolving
the prefixes into subdirs.

4) "I suggest maybe "_PF_BASNAME_H" for the file "pfBaseName.h", where pf
is the prefix." Agreed. One more vote for that.

5) "I don't like tabs, they only cause trouble for people with different
tab stops on thier editors, no matter how hard you try to get it right."
Hmm, my editor (fte) is using tabs only for indenting at the start of the
line. Everything else is done via spaces. That way it stays consistent
regardless of the tab size. At least 95% of the time. And having tabs at
the start of the line makes editing easier IMHO.

Well, it's quite some macros (especially if you also want to have shortcuts
for static and const and all combinations ;), but that's also the only
problem I see. In other words - I really don't have an opinion about this
one.

Uh, yes <ashamed>
