reason why chown/chmod uses an uppercase 'R' for recursion
I've always been curious about this, never sure why and couldn't find anything on the googles.  Why does chown/chmod use an uppercase 'R' for recursion.  Historically was there another option that used the lowercase 'r' (there isn't one now) ?  Or was it hte case that all options were upper-case and it stuck.
