It's not that, in my mind: it's that Peter feels more strongly about it
than the rest of us. This proposal has come up before and he's
successfully argued it down each time. He does have a point about there
being some potential for confusion; and the arguments on the other side
are not much better than "I'm lazy". Being lazy myself, I'd prefer a
case insensitive implementation; but I don't feel strongly enough about
it to want to override Peter's opinion.
