Some people may know that in German we generally spell nouns upper-case. Nonetheless, I am in favour of spelling the names in function names lower-case, because of a comment of some of my maths professors. He said that it is a great honour for a mathematician if his/her name is finally used as an adjective and thus with lower case. Also it is a great honour to appear in a function name and thus lower case... Best regards, Simon -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sage-devel" group.
