Only in the minds of a few. Case sensitivity was introduced as a programmer
convention to get around the problem caused by some languages which cannot
identify the difference between a variable, a constant, a function and a
method. These small minded individuals are now making this programmer
convention into a language requirement despite the fact that
a) They cannot identify a problem where case sensitivity is the solution.
b) Case sensitivity causes more problems than it solves.
