Writing "a" instead of "i" is typo, of course.
But difference between "a" and "A" is minimal.
They sort together, and most searching methods
are usually required to ignore the difference.
If you write "avan", I will not know what you mean,
but if you write "ivan", "Ivan", "IVAN", I guess
I will recognize all of them.

But its not only "their" identifiers, you can use lot of 3rd party libraries,
each one using its own "rules", one can have mehod "doClose",
the other "DoClose", and I personally have more important things
to remember than those _cosmetic_ variants.
