The future step of auto-generation requires this, as otherwise each of
these variable names would need to be encoded into our XML
documentation, which would increase the risk of errors being introduced
at that step.  While not perfectly consistent, the current _-separated
names generally match the parameter string. 

Finally, while broken up into a multitude of patches, only 4 files are
changed:

$ git diff be84f7a04a9288d1e113b1b3fa34e863bc87d1b8..rename-param | diffstat
 lib/param/loadparm.c        |   75 ++--
 lib/param/param_functions.c |  608 +++++++++++++++++++--------------------
 lib/param/param_table.c     |  656 +++++++++++++++++++++---------------------
 source3/param/loadparm.c    |  674 ++++++++++++++++++++++----------------------
 4 files changed, 1006 insertions(+), 1007 deletions(-)

I hope this clarifies things,
