[petsc-dev] why remove underscores?

[Barry Smith]

  1) It violated the PETSc style guides of NOT having _'s in the names of XXXType. 
         The reason we have the guides is make parts of PETSc as consistent as possible, hence easier to remember and know immediately what type of thing something is.
  2) It was very close name to the PETSC_VIEWER_XXXX_ making code harder for humans to parse quickly.
