Internal classes, like:
- nd_grid, etc. in numpy/lib/index_tricks.py
- masked_unary_operation, etc. in numpy/core/ma.py

Things we probably wouldn't change:
- array-like things, such as numpy.lib.polynomial.poly1d
- ufuncs implemented in Python like vectorize
- distributions from scipy.stats

In numpy, outside of tests, distutils, and f2py, there's actually not
that many classes defined in Python (as opposed to C). In scipy, most
non-testing classes are already CamelCase (one exception is weave).
