another detail: while creating objects, line~ is different from Line~. but while searching for help, it isn't. maybe than's a bug? try with append / Append.
I think this is down to your operating system / file system not distinguishing between line / Line / lInE / LINE / ... so when Pd searches for a help file, the operating system returns the first match which might not be "sufficiently accurate". It's likely in that OS/filesystem that you cannot have line~-help.pd and Line~-help.pd in the same directory, because they have "too-similar" names.

Objection, judge! :)
Some of the uppercase objects in Cyclone are there so the don't clash with builtins. Line~ is different from line~.
and has been lengthily discussed on this list: aliasing will eventually override already existing classes (including internals). so you get cyclone's [Line~] when you really want [line~].
Yes, I second this - no more aliases, especially ones that don't add any value!
