You are the only one.  What makes iTCO 'special'?

I don't know, I didn't write it. It looks like Wim did ~9 years ago, so
it must have made sense to him at the time.


Coding style wasn't as strict then as it is today. iTCO has just been kept
for historic reasons.

Sure, we could have changed it to lowercase, but so far no one bothered.
Plus, of course, there is always the element that some maintainers hate
that kind of cleanup, and patch submitters like Matt are stuck between
a rock and a hard place.
