I think case sensitivity in a language, or a shell, is a mistake; but I'm outnumbered 100 to 1 by people who want it.

And why do you think that?

'a' and 'A' are two different code points. The computer doesn't care about our cultural notation that they are two somewhat-related things. One is `1100001` the other is `1000001"

Therefore they mean, and should mean, different things.
