Good find.

A general rule for a name used to refer to a configuration variable
the C code ought to be

 - if it is used to match what the system gave us, make sure we use
   all lowercase for the first and the last component and match with
   strcmp(), not with strcasecmp().

 - if it is used to update, make sure we use the canonical spelling,
   if only for the documentation value.
