Such a heuristic would still break with some of the symbols used in the Linux
tree:
./arch/powerpc/platforms/Kconfig.cputype:config 6xx
./arch/powerpc/platforms/Kconfig.cputype:config 8xx
./arch/powerpc/platforms/Kconfig.cputype:config 4xx
Not to say about other projects which may use lower-case only symbols.
What about adding an option to keep the case as-is:
--keep-case|-k Keep symbol's case (dont' upper-case it)
Ideally, we could also add (I'd make a separate patch for that):
--upper-case|-U Upper-case the symbol
--lower-case|-l Lower-case the symbol
