You don't _need_ additional tooling. You can get by with just searching as normal, it's not as if people's code bases are filled with random conventions or random case variations...

style insensitivity WILL lead to typos that don't get caught. Someone will change the casing somewhere. Therefore you must always search with style insensitivity in mind.

Most people use completion anyways and it prevents this problem. Also, you can lint the code.
