I like it, but it points out some inconsistencies in init.cfg; some of
the skip_ usages are "Caps and period.", your proposed is "Caps but no
period", and other uses are "lower and no period".  We should probably
use a similar style throughout the file, and I'm leaning towards GCS'
suggestion of "lower and no period".  Jim, thoughts?
