[Message part 3 (text/plain, inline)]

The GNU coding standards advise sticking with proper case for
identifiers, even if the identifier starts with a lowercase letter and
appears at the beginning of a sentence.

The Guile manual seems to follow this convention, with the exception of
r5rs.texi, hence the attached patch.

Applied, thanks.  Note that as R5RS is a historical document, we
probably won't be accepting textual changes to this file, though you
probably knew that already.
