Counterpoint: prefixing "Kan extensions" with a verb would probably make it better, e.g. "define Kan extensions" or "expand API for Kan extensions", etc.
Forcing a verb is a win for the linter IMO, not a false-positive.

Perhaps "Euler's theorem" is a better example for why uppercase is fine, since "prove Euler's theorem" / "add Euler's theorem" sound less cool, but IMO the lint is worth this small trade-off.

Do you have other examples which aren't improved by a lowercase prefix?
