If we think that's likely, I'm not sure this intermediate churn is really worth it.

+1.  If we may introduce property behaviors (I hope we do) the naming of 'didSet' and 'willSet' should match the convention for accessors.  As those are user-defined and it is not unreasonable to imaging accessorswithseveralwords in their name, I believe e appropriate convention would be lower camel case.  As this is the status quo, I believe it is preliminary to make a change.

If a time comes where we either decide against property behaviors and that these should match the all lowercase convention of keywords, or decide to introduce property behaviors with a convention that accessors should be all lowercase migration could easily provided.
