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.

Statistics should be collected by a separate, tailorable tool, IMHO.
The tool we wrote at Hughes *was* used extensively.
