Hi François,

I've just added a new variable which may be customized to control the
capitalization of these example delimiters.  Add the following to your
config

    ;; -*- emacs-lisp -*-
    (setq org-babel-capitalize-examplize-region-markers t)

and the latest version of Org-mode will insert capitalized versions of
all begin/end example delimiters.

Best,
