> I still prefer following the convention that [exported] environment
variables should be all uppercase (i.e. {{{SAGE_TUNE_PARI}}}), and am
currently supporting that (in addition) in a new PARI 2.4.3.svn-12577.p5
spkg.
I think it was Peter Jeremey that proposed the lower case, and showed some
code how one could get it inside an arbitrary package (say ATLAS) from the
package name. (This was in relation to the number of threads ATLAS uses).
I don't have a big problem with upper or lower case, though I think
there's an argument for making the global ones that affect every package
upper case, and appending lower case for those that only affect a single
package. But it's hardly a big deal either way.
