We've already seen proposals to solve the problem, but please, we must
maintain as much backward compatibility as possible. Every syntactical
(and semantical) change results only confusion.

The built-in chain and target names are all fully capitalized.
What about the simple restriction that user-defined chain name cannot be a
string consisting of capitalized letters only.
