Java doesn't allow underscores in identifiers?  If you just meant,
it's the convention in Java to use MixedCapsAllRunTogether for
identifiers, my answer is "That's nice."  That has exactly the same
weight as the fact that K&R did things a certain way.  It doesn't have
the force of law.  Besides the fact that this isn't java.

No, it shouldn't be, and you could create it yourself.  However, it
would drain the namespace unnecessarily for what isn't really a big
deal.  Either way you choose, you'll find people who don't like it.
So it's really an arbitrary choice.
