Hmm. All things being equal, I think lowercase everywhere for things
like this would make sense. However, I could see exceptions being made
in some cases, for historical/backward compatibility reasons. For
example, allowing #T, #F, and e.g. 1E3 could make sense. But I don't
have any principled rationale for deciding that. Perhaps make it all
lowercase and wait for the squeals of protest?
