OK, but the fight over whether Ada should have case insensitive identifier
names was discussed and decided 20 years ago, with almost no controversy.
Pretty much everyone agreed this was the way to go. There are many good
reasons, which are not worth rehashing here, since this thread is not
about replaying that old chesnut! And if you start of thinking it is
wired idiocy, and have not bothered to read up on the issue, I think
it unlikely to be fruitful to discuss it in any case!
