Ah these wonderful shortcuts.  I should probably write them down somewhere ;)

I'd rather keep it uppercase.  The property name is uppercase and
hypothetically there could be a UserName property too, like we have
SourceDir/SOURCEDIR.  I know it almost looks like a macro, but it
helps me and possibly others know at first glace that we're talking
about the USERNAME property.
