We wrote one at Hughes in the 80's that had capitalization control
based on switches and which supported fixed capitalization of either a
default or project-specific set of acronyms. However, very few
projects used it. They just couldn't be bothered. Style was either
enforced by the rest of the toolset (� la Rational) or manually checked
during code reviews.

The tool we wrote at Hughes *was* used extensively.
