I meant a time closer to when the elisp manual was written, viz.
http://ftp.gnu.org/old-gnu/emacs/elisp-manual-20-2.5.tar.gz
has (in the node we are talking about: A Sample Function Description)
@defun foo integer1 &optional integer2 &rest integers
but the formatted manual included in that tarball has
- Function: foo INTEGER1 &optional INTEGER2 &rest INTEGERS
That's the reason why Drew's report rang a bell: I remembered that years
ago I had become aware of this change from upper-case to lower-case at
some point.

I could have done that (which is why I neglected to supply a change log
entry), but thanks.
