Hi Gyro,

I think applying a quote about how societal expectations and norms can limit the
capacity for greatness of individuals, to … capitalisation is a bit of a 
stretch.

FWIW, I think it would be good to be internally consistent. #+RESULTS is
currently one of the few keywords inserted in upper case. Unless there’s a good
reason to distinguish it from other keywords (perhaps an argument could be made
that it should be treated differently because it is usually generated, not
inserted by the user?), I’d be in favour of changing the default to be
consistent.

All the best,
Timothy
