Yes please! The documentation has evolved over many years and the style of how 
Vim/VIM/vim appears should be cleaned up. Also, let's fix 
gvim/Gvim/GVim/GVIM/gVim.

At the sadly neglected Vim wiki, we chose "Vim" and "gvim" despite the 
inconsistency. The "Vim" spelling fits modern usage such as in "Python" and 
many other packages. But then "Gvim" is rather weird, and "gVim" is very weird.

It would be nice to clean up the text shown by :version which starts with:

VIM - Vi IMproved 8.0

That might be better as:

Vim - vi improved 8.0.123

The patch level should be included. The above would mean patches 1 to 123 
inclusive have been applied.
