Not sure about this case, but such capitalization has been used in some Elisp packages to indicate "internal" vs "exported" functions/vars/commands. > Is it OK to set all defun/defvar/etc prefixes to "woman-"? Please try to figure out exactly what the woman-vs-WoMan distinction was intended to mean. Maybe "WoMan-" should turn into "woman--" (which is the semi-official notation used nowadays to express that a fun/var is "internal"). > - Only the defcustoms and interactive defuns? AFAICT there are no "WoMan-" defcustoms. But other than that, yes I think just keep obsolete aliases for interactive functions should be sufficient. Stefan PS: Of course we're talking about doing this in master.
