As I mentioned in my previous posting, yes. As I mentioned in a
posting a week or so ago with the same content, yes. It happens all
the time in case-sensitive languages. Differences in case have
different sematic means and usually correspond to different namespaces
(classes, constants, variables, etc).

The majority of C and Java code do just that. You need to change your
"strong belief".

You're not paying attention.
