Hmm, most or all of these are lowercase now. I guess I would
like to leave them like that. If we want to change it, can we
fix the macro associated with @defvr to change the capitalization?
Maybe that would be easier than changing all the instances.

Agreed. Something like sed 's/^@defun/@deffn function/' 
should work. I guess I would suggest doing all of these at once.
I guess we want to do 's/^@defvar/@defvr something/' too right?
