Fix your regex. As it is, it catches the things that are not camelcase
by any stretch of definition - [A-Z][a-z]+ will get caught by that and
it's neither camelcase nor something that ought to be discouraged for
e.g. enum member names.

CamelCase refers to caps in the middle of a compound, used to visually
separate them.
