Case sensitivity in any programming language is crazy. I can't for the life of me see a valid engineering principal that accepts IsTheOne() and istheone() being different bits of code. Oh sure at a technical level the computer has no problem with... the problem is restricted to those oh so error prone humans.

Can anyone here honestly say that if they were doing a code review they'd agree that solely a difference in case would get their approval?

And don't even get me started on filenames that only differ by case. If that's a good idea then I think trailing whitespace should be significant too!!!
