Yup, we are on the same page.  It's not too grave a mistake (we said
"these are command names and do not have to be able to contain
random letters" and deliberately did without the usual three-level
hierarchy; I think the reasoning is even more valid for pager.*),
but it does imply case insensitivity not to use three-level names,
and I think it is a good move.
