Ugh. My vote if for case sensitivity, but regardless, I'd like to
see sin(x) as sin(x) and not SIN(X), etc. For some reason, seeing
the output in all uppercase looks cheap to me. (Am I alone?)
Probably because it reminds me of old DOS programs, but regardless,
for purely emotional reasons, I'd like to see something done. The
most reasonable thing seems to me to be case sensitivity.
