I agree with Stephen. But there may be some obscure reason why this can
result in problems, so indeed, it would be wise if we asked Ton first.

Well, what seems to be the general idea in most modules is that for
exported modules we use a capital. Some modules are not exported like
vector and matrix. These are using lower case.
For functions in a module, we use a capital. (Object.Get(),
Blender.Redraw(), Camera.New()).
For methods on an object, we use a lower case. (in case of an Object:
obj.getLocation(), obj.getMatrix(), obj.setEuler()).
This has never really been discussed, since most function and method
names are copied over from the old Python implementation.

With regards,

ps. To get things consistent, I had implemented both the
Object.getSelected() and Object.GetSelected() functions. The first one
though, gives a warning in the console that it's a deprecated function
and will disappear in the future.
