I don't like at all CamelCase either..

[cut]
 I think it would be good if there will be possibility to use different  
 code convention in D. For example, like Ruby's: CamelCase for class names  
 and lower_case for method names, or like C++ ACE's: Camel_Case for classes  
 and lower_case for methods.


Restricting CamelCase to class name is a good compromise, I agree.

That said even for class name/typename, there is some weird 'double standard':
I doubt that you'll find many people who want to switch from 'int' to 'Int'..

I don't think that a vote is appropriate here. IMHO, the better way is  
allow to use different code conventions. Yes it leads to styles mixture  
(like in C++ when a project uses Qt+ACE+boost), but C++ show that it isn't  
a big problem. It is not a good idea to mix different styles in some kind  
of projects, like reusable libraries (for example it is bad idea to add  
new code to Tango in a different style). But when I wrote my own project  
with Tango I want to use my own code convention.

AFAIK, 'int' is not a class, so it isn't a problem :)
