It seems all the languages you've used are case-sensitive, so maybe
you don't have relevant experience with the following issue, but I just
thought I'd ask -- isn't case-sensitivity a problem?  How does your
setup pronounce things, in order to distinguish, say:
    muscat = 23
(assigning 23 to the all-lower-case name muscat) from
    musCat = 23
(same but with the name being assigned to having an uppercase instead
of lowercase C in the middle)?
