I much prefer '-' over '_' in filenames, because I always enable
case-insensitive tab completion, so the only time I have to hit shift is
when typing the pesky '_'.  (Actually, if you use tcsh instead of bash,
then '-' and '_' are considered case equivalent - it's one of the few
things about tcsh that I wish bash would learn).
