+        - Filenames should be all lowercase with hyphens separating words.
+        - Class file names should be based on the class name with "class-" prepended.
+        - Files in `wp-includes` containing template tags should end in `-template`.

+        If `$is_theme` property is set to `true` certain theme specific exceptions are made for underscores.
