Agreed.  It simply does not seem useful to be able to distinguish
between different cases (i.e., allow the use of both uppercase and
lowercase letters in identifiers) unless that distinction _means_
something.  Which leads one to the conclusion that case sensitivity is
the only logical way to go.

I don't have any strong objection to warning against (perhaps a
PyChecker warning would be sufficient) against identifiers with name
differing only in case in the same namespace, since there very rarely is
a good reason do that.
