It is one thing to name something __vectorcall, and quite another to mix camel and normal case. When I'm scanning the code very quickly, I initially parse _PyObject_VectorcallDict as PyObject_VectorallDict or_PyObject_Vector_callDict. From the perspective of reading, it is one of the most obnoxious names I've seen in the Python code base.
