Yep, M-- is cool.  Slightly more useful for M-c than M-u, though, IMHO.

I always set up my programming modes so that "_" is not part of a word;
I find things like M-f etc. more useful that way.  This means I'd need
to repeatedly use M-- M-u: any token large enough to make it worthwhile
to do this rather than just typing the caps using SHIFT will undoubtedly
contain multiple words separated by "_".

I think I will just continue to use the SHIFT key when I need to type
uppercase words.  Really, it's not that hard...
