I'm fine with the typed out name as well, but I still would prefer lowercase to
stay consistent with defaultdict/dict.

Unfortunately PEP 8 never really took off naming-wise, so we're mostly following
the "reuse the naming scheme from existing code in the same module" rule, and I
think there lowercase wins, thanks to defaultdict.
