Anyone not being a developer will never use it. Let alone conservative projects, or already released applications. There is no gain. However there are tools already to apply whatever CS one wishes to existing source code, or to check CS on commit. That's what one can uses case sensitive naming without us having to break everything out there. I think we can disagree on that and do not discuss that forever, if there is a RFC about it, we will vote on it and that's it :) My mistake was to send this mail too early, more important points coming :) CHeErs, -- Pierre @pierrejoye | http://www.libgd.org
