They are lowercase in the docs because they're lower-case in the DMdA
languages.  They're only uppercase in the HtDP languages.  (You may
remember that we discussed this.)

Yes - it is exactly the same as with check-expect.  (And, once it's
fixed with check-expect, it'll magically be fixed with signatures.)  I
don't know how to fix this, unfortunately.

This, and the other minor issues (some error messages; coverage for
struct signatures) seem like good subjects for a mini hack-a-thon at
ICFP - we haven't gotten very far by e-mail.
