Identifiers containing underscores must start with an uppercase letter. (So that the UNO implementation can use identifiers containing underscores and starting with a lowercase letter for internal purposes, see e.g. the static_type member functions in the C++ *.hdl files. idlc checks that with the -cid option, while unoidl-write silently allows bad identifiers for now, see the TODO in unoidl/source/sourceprovider-scanner.l, which can be dropped after this change.) All of the affected identifiers were present since early OOo times, but none of them appear to be used much, at least not across LO itself, so there is hope that we can get away with these incompatible changes. (For the constant group members, we could roll this out in two steps, introducing the new members alongside the old ones and deprecating the old ones in a first step, then removing the old, deprecated ones in a second step, so that third-party code would have more time to adapt. But that would not work for the enum members and interface methods, so just do all of this in one breaking step.) udkapi happened to not contain any bad identifiers.

LibreOffice API IDL Files Except UDK API
Contains all of the IDL files except those in udkapi.
i.e. the interfaces that are specific to the LibreOffice application. An artificial (?) separation.
The reference offapi/type_reference/offapi.idl and
udkapi/type_reference/udkapi.idl (formerly combined into a single
offapi/type_reference/types.rdb) are used to detect inadvertent incompatible
changes. They are plain-text .idl files (not strictly lexicographically sorted,
though, so they satisfy the .idl file requirements for no forward dependencies),
so in cases where we deliberately /do/ become incompatible they can be modified
manually.
Old such cases of deliberately becoming incompatible are listed in
offapi/type_reference/typelibrary_history.txt, newer such cases are recorded in
the git logs of (now superseded) offapi/type_reference/types.rdb,
offapi/type_reference/offapi.rdb, and udkapi/type_reference/udkapi.rdb, new such
cases are recorded in the git logs of offapi/type_reference/offapi.idl and
udkapi/type_reference/udkapi.idl.
