Ok, I put quite some time ago auto-capitalize-mode, with the permission
to MELPA. Maybe it would be good to chose a slightly different name,
although I admit right now, nothing really neat pops up in my mind. But
Kevin's auto-capitalize-mode is 20 years, so people might be confused if
a very different implementation with the same name pops up.

One thing which was a considerable headache, but could be solved in
Kevin's version concerned  letters in math formula in latex (auctex) mode.
For example

\[
\sum_{i=1}^n A_i
\]

Should not give 

\[
\sum_{I=1}^n A_I
\]

Did you check this for your code?
