Add an exception to naming convention for names beginning with commonly used abbrevations

[mpkeefe]

The Naming section advises

Properties should be camel-case with the leading word being lowercase.

When it makes sense for a symbol name to begin with a commonly used abbreviation, then the abbreviation should be capitalized according to common convention. In other words, the common naming convention takes precedence.

Examples appear scattered through Apple's class references:

• NSData *HTTPBody
• NSURL *URL
• const char *UTF8String
• [UIColor RedColor].CGColor

Great point, we already do this but forgot to write it up.

@mpkeefe I think a PR for this would still be great idea.
