Hi,

I don't know why case sensitivity as I layed it out, is put in the same 
group as ideas for removing $ from variables or redoing the PHP primitives, 
or what have you...

Knowing the guts of PHP doesn't protect people from making really bad 
proposals, as anyone following this list for some time is well aware.

Core devs know the PHP engine well, but sometimes have little idea of 
accepted standards, syntax and common workflows in and outside the PHP 
community.

Also: those truly "hilarious" joke replies some people keep producing on 
this list, including to this thread: they're not funny. The idea of OSS 
forums like this list, isn't to generate easy entertainment for bored 
programmers.

A valid point elsewhere is lost everytime a thread heads this way.

Regards,
