Comment (by Otto42):

 I'm sorry, I read through all this and I still don't understand what the
 goal is here.

 If the goal is to have capital letters in the plugin slug, then I'm going
 to have to say no, and close the ticket with a wontfix.

 Plugin slugs are all lowercase, they are used for the URL of the plugin in
 our directory, they are used as the foldername for the plugin itself, and
 they are unique entities in the system.

 Adding support for non-lowercase letters would also require additional
 code to prevent issues where somebody makes "exampleslug" vs
 "ExampleSlug", which would work on a unix based hosting, but not a Windows
 based one.

 If you want to code your plugin code to a specific standard, then you can
 do so if you wish. But having it located in a folder using lowercase
 letters only is not really a very large burden to bear.
