Of course you can name things any way you like, but we've used the following
conventions.
- Classes start with a capital letter, words are separated with underscores,
subsequent words are not capitalised (eg. Image_file)
- Private names are prefixed with underscores (and are hidden by most of the
user interface)
- Functions from the VIPS library are prefixed with im_
- Global utility functions (eg. map), public members (eg.
Interpolate.nearest_neighbour) are all lower case, words are separated
with underscores, subsequent words are not capitalised
