;;; Commentary:

;; This file defines a minor mode for making unreadableIdentifiersLikeThis
;; readable.  In some environments, for instance Java, it is common to use such
;; unreadable identifiers.  It is not good to use underscores in identifiers of
;; your own project in such an environment to make your sources more readable,
;; since it introduces undesirable confusion, which is worse than the
;; unreadability.  Fortunately, you use Emacs for the subproject, so the
;; problem can be solved some way.
;;
;; This file defines the `glasses-mode' minor mode, which displays underscores
;; between all the pairs of lower and upper English letters.  (This only
;; displays underscores, the text is not changed actually.)  Alternatively, you
;; can say you want the capitals in some given face (e.g. bold).
;;
;; The mode does something usable, though not perfect.  Improvement suggestions
;; from Emacs experts are welcome.
;;
;; If you like in-identifier separators different from underscores, change the
;; value of the variable `glasses-separator' appropriately.  See also the
;; variables `glasses-face' and `glasses-convert-on-write-p'.  You can also use
;; the command `M-x customize-group RET glasses RET'.
;;
;; If you set any of the variables `glasses-separator' or `glasses-face' after
;; glasses.el is loaded in a different way than through customize, you
;; should call the function `glasses-set-overlay-properties' afterwards.
