On my system it would be more accurate to say "many" and not "any".

I have binaries called:

GET
HEAD
MageiaUpdate
Mail
POST
QXmlEdit
RunWM, and a selection of other RunWM.* variants
VBoxHeadless
VBoxManage....etc
VirtualBox
X
XFdrake
Xephyr
Xorg
Xwrapper

Is there a better reason to second-guess the coder's choice of upper
case in the name than "nobody else does it"?
