Hi again Bernd,

Funnily enough, mom's style of SHOUTING_ALL_THE_TIME has put me off
using it to date. Far too noisy and intrusive for someone used to a
couple of lowercase letters here and there. :-) I keep thinking that
when I do take the plunge I'll set up quiet_aliases for all the things
as I use them.

Ignoring Perl, ;-) I see a few; MAKEDEV, PAM, LDP. Oh, and X. PAM(7)
is also there as pam(7).

I'd prefer not, but it's only a preference. In man7 I see these
uppercase terms have lowercase man pages, so there seems to be more
tradition on it being lower.
arp gpl koi8-r url
ascii icmp koi8-u urn
cp1251 ip tcp utf-8
fifo ipv6 udp x25
gfdl iso_8859_* uri
Cheers, Ralph.
