Is there a Benefit to Having the Name of Javascript Functions Start with Lowercase Letters?

I have noticed that most Javascript methods (framework and custom) start with lowercase letters. Is there a reason and/or benefit to this?

In any case-sensitive language, it's especially important to be consistent about how you case variables. But starting with lower-vs-upper is just an idiom that's evolved in the community.

There's no technical reason. It's about readability, tradition, similarity to existing code. Consistency leads to readability, and arbitrary divergence stands out for no good reason.
