Mhmm, this is much work, and I don't see immediate benefits. IMHO,
groff's C++ code is quite clear, and I ask you to show an example
where `readability and maintainability' could be *really* improved by
using uppercased stuff – I need more than a `we have learnt that in
school' to be convinced. Additionally, `git blame' would become much
more inconvenient to use.

Why? Again, please provide an example that could benefit.

*This* is the most important thing! Here I fully agree with you.
