If the single character "ß" represents two "s" characters joined
together, then the uppercase equivalent should also be a single
character which looks like two "S" characters joined together. If
it is not possible to write code which deals with these
exceptions, then one alternative would be to remove these exceptions
remove from where?
from the reality?
If the lowercase character "ß" causes so many problems because it
has no proper equivalent in uppercase then it should be removed
from the list of valid characters. Either that or provide a single
uppercase character - which is what that wikipedia article you
quoted says actually happened this year
jesus christ the german language DID NOT have a uppercase ß in the
real world until recently but had the lowercase ß virtually forever
how do you imagine "removeed from the list of valid characters" in
that case - frankly that paragraph above shows clearly that you
should stop to argue about this topic at all
Just because my opinion differs from yours does not give you the
right to demand that I stop expressing it
surely, in my opinion you don't understand the topic you are talking
about and repeating the same questionable stuff again and again and as
you are allowed to express your opinion i am allowed to express mine
the way you argued about how code consistency don't matter says it all
It is your definition of "consistency" that I object to. Consistency
with what? Code that abandons case insensitivity "just to be consistent"
is consistently bad because it removes the feature called "case
insensitivity" that we humans have become used to since we began to read
and write. I have been working in the computer industry since the early
1970s on a variety of mainframe, mini- and micro-computers, and a
variety of languages. and this was all case insensitive. It was only the
invention of unix which threw a spanner in the works.
as you call everybody which demands that code all over a poject or
company has to follow a common coding style "OCD sufferers" - but hey,
the others are all ghost drivers and should turn around....
If you wish to enforce case sensitivity in projects which you control
then go ahead. Just don't try to enforce it on everybody else.
that thread was about the PHP core and NOT case-sensitive where you
called people "OCD sufferers" - so don't play stupid games here when
everybody can access the list archive or is knowing your attitude
anyways - you have lost that game

https://www.mail-archive.com/internals@lists.php.net/msg91562.html
and frankly people like you arguing about code consistency are fired
here from one the to the next because theri inability to write well
cocumentend and readable quality code at all and they are instead coding
timebombs
it's one thing when you write your private crap but from the point you
want your code used by somebody else you have to play with that rules
