I don't think I've ever encountered e in captial when referrring to Euler's number. The wiki URL has it that way, but the entirety of the text refers to it in italicized lower-case - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/E_(mathematical_constant).
Looks like Wolfram does use E in Mathematica, so perhaps that is prior art to copy here. Just curious if this was discussed.
@tannergooding Was this an intentional choice?

I'd have expected this to have been a cref="E" so it refers to the named constant we use for Euler's number.
I know we have some support for LaTeX now, so if we're not doing a cref, then maybe using the "proper" math symbol is better?

Ah, I see. If this was referring to the .NET name, then that makes sense to me.
Some APIs were missed in the first pass.
