In that case you should never be writing any CMake commands in lower
case because at one time 100% of CMake code used upper case commands.
Now there is a mixture but most people prefer lower case commands.

I fully understand and appreciate your "existing practice" argument
but I weight it differently.  The longer we wait to provide ExactCase
variables the more code there will be that uses UPPERCASE.
