Your dislike of case sensitivity in *ix is obvious.  How do you
feel about z/OS, which is equally case sensitive?  Would you support
an RFE to make STOW, BLDL, DYNALLOC, Catalog Services, JCL, TSO, and
the RTLs of various languages case insensitive?  (I'm  not
volunteering to submit such an RFE.)

(BTW, what was the problem in the SHARK TANK article at the
head of this thread?  I have no familiarity with CICS operations
so I couldn't guess what the command should have been, nor what
the naive operator was attempting to enter.  Was it a matter of
case sensitivity?)
