Hi Hans,

Well, those would be coming from the first argument of definetyping. AFAIU,
neither argument to installprettytype is related to these commands.

>>   \definetyping[PHP]   [option=PHP]

Agreed, me neither.

That makes sense for commands, which is not what I'm proposing to change. I
would propose making it look like the following:

\installprettytype [php]        [php]
\definetyping      [PHP]        [option=php]

Here, the second "php" refers to "pret-php.lua", the first and last "php"
refer to each other and to the "php" in newvisualizer("php").

The command defined is still \startPHP, but now the values that refer to other
lowercase things (filename, pretty printer name) are lowercase consistently.

How's this?

Gr.

Matthijs
