It's much easier to just write all in lowercase for emerge, because it |
16 |
is case sensitive and won't directly work (only hopefully show how it's |
17 |
capitalized in the suggestions it prints if no direct match is found). |
18 |
So usually lowercase means there's no guessing which happens to be |
19 |
upper case to feed to emerge. |

Less important for stuff people usually don't install, but are usually |
21 |
only pulled in as a dependency of something. |
