Maybe, it would be good to unify buffer names, but I (and possibly many
other users) have in .emacs:
(add-to-list 'same-window-buffer-names "*Diff*")
which is currently not case-sensitive.
And also there are other buffer names with capital letters:
("*Help*" "*Apropos*" "*Locate*" "*Colors*" "*Buffer List*")
Want to rename them too?
They are all quite different from *diff*, in none of those do you end
up editing the actual content (atleast, I don't); maybe an execption
can be made for *Locate*, it is similar to *grep*, or *occur*, which I
often edit to do various things on specific lines using macros.
