When right-clicking on force arrows, north, south, east, and west are capitalized, and northeast, etc. are not. Is there any reason not to make them all of the same case?

I've noticed that this is true of scripting as well: For example, in the "wait for open move <direction>" command the cardinal directions are Capitalized, the others are not (i.e., northwest, North, etc.). It makes some sort of logical sense if we think of cardinal directions as "more important" than the others, or want to distinguish very carefully diagonal movements from cardinal ones. I'm pretty neutral on whether or not it should be changed, myself.

Even if that were a distinction worth making (and I don't see why it would be), it would still be inconsistent with tunnel directions, which are all cardinal and all lowercase.
