Maybe, it would be good to unify buffer names, but I (and possibly many
other users) have in .emacs:

  (add-to-list 'same-window-buffer-names "*Diff*")

which is currently not case-sensitive.

And also there are other buffer names with capital letters:

   ("*Help*" "*Apropos*" "*Locate*" "*Colors*" "*Buffer List*")

Want to rename them too?
