Personally, I am comfortable with using "pretty printers" through some 
stage of the procedings, and from then on I do like the GNAT behavior of 
treating capitalization errors as errors.  They are, but the compiler 
can't be sure what the error is, just that there is one.  So it 
shouldn't "fix" it silently.  As I said, beyond a certain point I want 
to control all changes to the code myself.
