hu? How isn't always using the right casing un-portable if allowing
case-insensitivity also? You mean becuase one might use
function bullshit()...and
function Bullshit()...and
function bullShit()...?
If so, i guess you know how to write portable apps - test them with
everything supported - in this case with and w/o case-insensitivity.
Thus your argument is untrue. And the try of disproval above, look
at the used names.


Best regards,
 Marcus
