Yes! Capitalization consistency in the predefined versions! If it needs

ridiculous, and frankly, a real PITA ("Ok, I need to version for Blah
OS...now what random capitalization did Walter chose to use for that
one again...?"). I don't care about that change breaking existing code:
For one thing, it's D2, it's not supposed to be stable yet, and
secondly: Just say "with this release, grep all your code for "version"
and update your capitalizations", or, better yet, depricate any use of
the old names as errors, and just get the damn issue fixed already!
The choices were not random. They coincided with the common usage of the
underlying C compiler.
Makes sense, I always have trouble re-capitalizing version statements when
porting C code...
