Yup--but here I think we were specifically referring to the case used
in <function> tags in the manual. But the Great Renaming Debate has
certainly been gone over a few times this year. :)

Yup, if only because it calls attention to the fact that the function
could have been named more carefully in the first place :) Besides,
like I said, I'm not as interested in the actual case of the function
names in the manual as I am in getting the hyperlinks working: that's
the most important thing from the reader's point of view IMHO.
