The change should be the inverse - the docs above are incorrect, and union names must be lowerCamelCase.

Union names need to be specifically lowerCamelCase. UpperCamelCase is not supported.

Before this PR
The definitions mentions that "Union names MUST be in PascalCase", however the example given below had the union names in camelCase.
After this PR
==COMMIT_MSG==
==COMMIT_MSG==
The example now has union names in PascalCase, conforming to the aforementioned convention.The docs now mention that the union Names must be in camelCase.Possible downsides?
