Nope. If you can think of a good way for this to happen then I'm all
ears. Maybe there could be another parameter or hook to customize the
ucfirst behaviour that I'm doing.

This also won't work currently. If you think it's worth it then maybe we
can introduce another paramter/hook for this too.

I didn't think this would be the correct solution for someone to use for
existing apps, but for new ones. This is because all of you links,
forms, etc would have to use the new style of urls instead of the
traditional. So if you're just starting a new app and planning your
modules out, etc, it's now hard to enforce these simple naming
conventions. But, like I said before, I'm flexible and willing to add
something to fix these issues if someone needs them or has any ideas
about best to fix these problems.
