PHP also does not have an unstructured GOTO simply because the language
authors see the potential for huge mistakes, and decided to leave it out to
help protect the unwary programmer from making difficult-to-spot mistakes.
It is my opinion that the introduction of case-sensitivity into software
falls into the same category, therefore should be avoided wherever possible.
