In this way, I think this is a non-discussion, since the current software
already does not make distinction between 'flirble' and 'Flirble' - the first
word is automatically made upper-case, also when it is inserted as
lower case. So it is only when there is a difference in a further word
where we get a difference, for example between "Big flirble" and "Big Flirble",
or when there is a capital inside a word, between "Bigg" and "BigG".
