I don't understand the point. Why not just make the contributed
stuff lower-case, why is case sensitivity an issue?
Unless making the conversion from case-insensitive to case-sensitive
is a large time sink, what is the problem with case sensitivity?
What problems does it cause? (I usually type foo, but occasionally
I like to type Foo?)
