This is somewhat similar to #432562. The difference, as I see it, is capital letters + compatibility with Ubuntu versus underscores + compatibility with BSDs. I don't see that any of the breakage concerns originally raised in #432562 apply to this suggestion. I am also in favor of reducing unnecessary incompatibilities that can cause confusion. People of #432562, do you have any comments? regards Afif -- Afif Elghraoui | عفيف الغراوي http://afif.ghraoui.name
