Thank god! That's an absolutly stupid convention!

Many many years ago I read a book that pointed out that there should be no 
difference between variables and constants. That you should be able to 
switch between a variable and a constant by simply changing the 
declaration of a symbol. That you should not need to go through a program 
and change every occurance of a symbol because it has changed from a 
constant to a variable or visa versa. This I thought was profound. 
Similarly it follows that function names and macro names should be 
interchangeable for the same reason.
