Not sure about this case, but such capitalization has been used in some
Elisp packages to indicate "internal" vs "exported" functions/vars/commands.

Please try to figure out exactly what the woman-vs-WoMan distinction was
intended to mean. Maybe "WoMan-" should turn into "woman--" (which is
the semi-official notation used nowadays to express that a fun/var is
"internal").

AFAICT there are no "WoMan-" defcustoms.
But other than that, yes I think just keep obsolete aliases for
interactive functions should be sufficient.
