Function names should follow the following conventions:

* Use camelCase: initial lower case, then alternate case between words.
* Do not use '.' (in the S3 class system, `some(x)` where `x` is class `A` will dispatch to `some.A`).
* Prefix non-exported functions with a '.'.
* Do not use '.' in exported function names (in the S3 class system, `some(x)` where `x` is
class `A` will dispatch to `some.A`), except to prefix non-exported/internal helper
functions with a leading dot: `.internalFunc`.
