Yep, you're the only person to see it, Tony. The rest of us are more
intelligent than that. We can understand the difference between box,
Box and BOX.

And yes, according to programming standards, each has its own meaning.

BOX is a defined constant
Box is a class name
box is a variable name - an object of type Box

Nothing hard about that.

You see problems. The rest of us sees an advantages.
