What does the use of upper and lower case in English has to do with C
programming?  Should we also use other aspects of written natural text
such as syntax, semantics, how to typeset, punctuation, etc. in C?
We could also try to let C look like cobol :-)

No, let's continue with the current well-established use of lower/upper
case, and not fight any longer about minor details.
