Case insensitivity

[Arthur Siegel]

Guido - 

If the issue really is what is important for those 
teaching and learning programming, rather than
some more abstract design goal  ---

Why not comment on Sheila's previous post - an  
unambiguous report of an active and interested 
member of the community backed up 
by numbers of years of classroom teaching 
experience.

Has case sensitivity been found to be a significant
issue?

"Not once." 

Even surprised me a bit.

"Not once."

We - the interested community - are not going 
to be able do better for you  than that.

Thanks, Sheila!  Finally someone who *does* something about this
rather than repeating old arguments... :-)  Looking forward to the
responses you get.
