The Zen of Cypher

• Write functions() in lower case, KEYWORDS in upper.
• START each keyword clause
  ON a new line.
• Use either camelCase or snake_case for node identifiers but be consistent.
• Relationship type names should use UPPER_CASE_AND_UNDERSCORES.
• Label names should use CamelCaseWithInitialCaps.
• MATCH (clauses)-->(should)-->(always)-->(use)-->(parentheses)-->(around)-->(nodes)
• Backticks `cân éscape odd-ch@racter$ & keyw0rd$` but should be a code smell.
