+;; The following three autoloaded aliases appear to conflict with
+;; AUCTeX.  However, even though AUCTeX uses the mixed case variants
+;; for all mode relevant variables and hooks, the invocation function
+;; and setting of `major-mode' themselves need to be lowercase for
+;; AUCTeX to provide a fully functional user-level replacement.  So
+;; these aliases should remain as they are, in particular since AUCTeX
+;; users are likely to use them.
