The obvious solution is to have the name of the release be the
superposition of "Schrödinger's Cat" and "Schrodingers Cat", and hope
that the waveform collapses to the former version when it is observed on
the wiki and in emails, but to the latter version when it is observed in
files that are parsed programmatically.
