Date: Fri, 28 Dec 2012 08:57:28 -0800	[thread overview]

In that case, there are bugs in the other direction, in other nodes of the
manual - nodes that use uppercase for parameters.

For example:

`A Sample Function Description' - `count-loop'
`Syntax Table Functions' - `with-syntax-table'
`Using Lexical Binding' - `special-variable-p'
`Syntax Table Internals' - `string-to-syntax'
`Declare Form' - `declare'

Note that `A Sample Function Description' is the very place where we explain the
syntax convention and give an example of it.  Not a good place to set a bad
example.

Reopening.  There is clearly some cleanup to be done.
