[comp.lang.c] The problem with case sensitivity

flee@shire.cs.psu.edu (Felix Lee) (05/01/89)

I'm in favor of case sensitivity.  The problem of case sensitivity is
poor capitalization.  From the X libraries, which is correct:
  XSetScreenSaver or XSetScreensaver?
  XSetStandardColorMap or XSetStandardColormap?
  XtCallBackPopDown, XtCallbackPopDown,
    XtCallBackPopdown, or XtCallbackPopdown?

This is the argument for case insensitivity.  *Not* the ability to use
"myVar" and "MyvAr" interchangeably, as so many people seem to think.
"Case tolerance" is a reasonable compromise.
