Personally, I'd like to see IDLE handling the case issue just like the
VB IDE does, that way newbies wouldn't be confused (I hope), and I could
still be happily case senisitive (except my .sig).

On the other hand, Guido wrote Python, and it's wonderful. Why be afraid
of change? All of the changes that have been made to Python so far were
improvements.

The case-sensitive issue just might be the same as the whitespace issue.
Python's unconvential approach works quite well for me in whitespace,
I'm willing to give another unconvential approach a chance at least.
