Re: MySql coding style: Request for deprecation of UPPERCASE typedefs

[Alex Esterkin]

Have you considered how much extra work and headache a change like
this will bring to the community?  Evolution of particular features,
functions, and files will become impossible to trace, numerous partner
libraries will break, etc.

Do you also plan on changing class names?  For example, rename THD
into  Thd, rename sql_exchange into Sql_exchange, etc?

Regards,
Alex Esterkin
