Horror, hell, and damnation! April 1st should be far behind us by now!
I would hate[1] writing with inconsistent casing, with nothing on my side
to help me writing consistently. I much prefer what Python is, today, on
that regard. So, how do I register my vote? Where do I leave my tears? :-)
Besides, is there any real need behind case-insensitiveness? Or is it
just another step forward (backward? :-) on that road that would drive us
towards a click-on-the-pink-button-and-hear-the-soft-sound version of Python?
--------------------
[1] Scheme did this to us. Hopefully, I found an implementation which
was deviant enough from the standard to be usable. Under option, of course.
