I miss my Ruby macros (1st day in Squeak and I love it ... dislike the camelCase tho'). Would this be the correct way to go about it?
Not to hijack, but this is the second time I've run across the term "camelCase" in the past week after never running into it before. I always thought the term for caps in the middle was "infix"--but when I didn't see "infix" used anywhere in what I was searching, I began to wonder--have I made this up?
I guess so. I only know "infix" pertaining to "notation", in contrast to "prefix" and "postfix" notation.

I got to know the style as "mixed case", contrasting with "upper case" and "lower case". But "CamelCase" seems to have become ubiquitous, my personaI guess is because it's an insiders-joke, similar to "duck typing":
