Urgh. I wish languages wouldn't do this. Things which look different should be different.

At least it's case sensitive for the first letter, which means that the traditional lowercase-for-identifiers, capitalised-for-types naming scheme works.

I've tried programming in Ada, which has case insensitive identifiers; it was deeply painful.

Edit: Plus, of course, case sensitivity is locale dependent. Are I and i the same letter? Not if you're Turkish. (Upper case i is İ; lower case I is ı.)

Yes, this matters. http://www.theinquirer.net/inquirer/news/1017243/cellphone-l...
