 Not sure where the code is that auto-links classes used in text, but for
 the REST API handbook, when `Requests` is used in the text (case-
 sensitively), it's linked to the Requests class.

 This is most visible in the [https://developer.wordpress.org/rest-
 api/#requests broken Requests section header] on the handbook's homepage.

 This code is in the
 [https://meta.trac.wordpress.org/browser/sites/trunk/wordpress.org/public_html
 /wp-content/themes/pub/wporg-developer/inc/formatting.php#L289
 DevHub_Formatting::autolink_references] code, but is explicitly included
 there, so this seems intentional.

 Since "requests" is both the name of the class and a common English word,
 IMO this should err on the most common case, which is as an English word.
 References to the class itself can be manually linked by the page author.
