Even though a different character solves a problem?
What problem does it introduce?
The comparison with _ vs CamelCase is apples and oranges.
They don't separate object/class name from method name.
If I were to invoke static method read_register on class
ephemeral_frame it would be ephemeral_frame::read_register().
The problem of the readability of frame-data-read-register
that ephemeral-frame-read-register attempts to solve
just doesn't arise. Same with frame-data:read-register.
