No - 'fraid not.

I *thought* I'd been pretty consistant, for public symbols in
PLIB module 'XX' (where 'XX' is: SL, SSG, SG, PU, FNT):

#define's, enum tags                 XX_ALL_CAPITALS 
functions/classes/structs/typedefs   xxMixedCase

For private symbols, I use all_lowercase unless they would pollute
the name space - in which case I use a leading underscore _xxMixedCase

You could probably find a few cases where I screwed up - often because
a formerly private member had to become public - or vice-versa.

I beat you to it (sort of).

PLIB 1.1.11 has 'ssgLoad' and 'ssgSave' that use the file extension to
figure out which low level file format to use.

I don't know of anyone working on the current loaders.
