Yes, but wouldn't it be more correct to write a name like Mercurial in
its correct form? Unless we agree that this project is called
"mercurial" -- like in the logo... :-)

By the way, I also had a patch at some point which changed "mq" into
"MQ" since it is an abbreviation of "Mercurial Queues". But the source
and most of the wiki call it the "mq extension". On the other hand, the
book by Bryan talks about MQ.

Oh the confusion... :-)
