Add more synonyms and put them in a separate section, some of them with sources.

I have not been pushing some local work. These changes look good. Let me push up a dev branch and we can merge to there.

Alright, enough of this rabbit hole. I'm going to bed. Thank you for giving me something pointless to dive into!

After examining this closer, I don't think I want the goal of the site to document other naming conventions, but instead a history of where cases show up in the context of programming languages. Many of the existing sources from listicles and wikipedia are inadequate, so I want to be very careful about choosing which synonyms to list. In fact, the goal of this site is to set a new standard for naming conventions, and not get too caught up in the many atypical or unpopular names used over the years.

I think it would be helpful to at least list them, kind of like keywords, so that people can recognize them. Some of them that might have an interesting bit of history attached to them could be elaborated on in the history section
