I always wanted to inquire about this inconsistency (which, it seems,
generates user confusion):
Why do we call it sometimes Noun (as in the Toggle Noun toolbar button
outputting \noun{The}) and sometimes Small Caps (as in the Text Style

In the output PDF they're visually identical, as far as my eyes tell
me. If the two LaTeX commands are indeed the same, then we should
choose one and provide it uniformly via the GUI. Personally I have a
small preference towards using the 'Small Caps' name as it is more
intuitive to users, and thus renaming the toolbar button. (Who knows
what Noun implies?)
