A different conversation but I didn't see that so I take the opportunity
to agree here. The capitalized variants of the command name was always
confusing to me -- is it the command name, only with a big letter in the
beginning, or is it some sort of doxy description that is not the same
as the command name. Easy to check, but anyway.
The help for a specific function has a different approach, not
capitalized.
Best regards
