 There has been an inconsistency in how user-defined variable and script
 names are seen in the Etoy UI.  In some places, such names get un-camel-
 cased, e.g. if the user gives a variable the name fredTheBear, it will
 appear in some places as 'fred the bear' and in others as 'fredTheBear'.
 Our current consensus is that all user-defined variable and script names
 should always be seen in their actual form, i.e. the actual instance-
 variable-names and method-names of user-defined-variables and user-
 defined-scripts should be what is seen on tiles representing these
 elements in all cases.  Thus, always 'fredTheBear', never 'fred the bear'.
