Dear g.e.bug folks..
consider what happens when you capitalize a region: FSF gets changed
to Fsf in the region. There are (3 differnet) utilities out there
that capitalize each sentence-beginning for you.. some of them write
their own implementation of capitalize-word for this very reason. So
i figured, perhaps the best place to make the change is in GNU emacs
itself..
IMHO, there could be a variable, say, capitalize-acronyms-p. If this
variable is non-nil, then capitalize-word (and capitalize-region)
should capitalize GNU to GNU, not Gnu. These are built-in functions,
and If i knew enough C and loved it tenth as much as elisp, i would
try to submit a patch myself :)
(in fact, if you so like, more generally, there could be a general
regexp that skips capitalization.. for instance, as in Kevin Rodger's
auto-capitalize.el -->

)
(PS: i use emacs 21.1)
