Case sensitivity is a good thing in that it forces everyone to use the
exact same name for the same thing everywhere.

It's not good in that it can be misused to have very similar-looking
names for completely different things.

But then again, case insensitivity can also be misused by using
*different* names for the *same* thing, e.g.

BEGIN...END;
Begin...End;
begin...end;
begIN...eNd;

I'd prefer it if these were forced to be written the same way
everywhere. Wouldn't you?
