I disagree. The majority of programmers that I have worked with on
case-insensitive languages do NOT like being told that case is suddenly
important, that you must use one in preference to the other. It is like
saying that although the language allows you to do something either
*this* way or *that* way from now on everybody MUST do it *that* way
for no other reason than to be consistent.
