Three ways to fix this without case insensitivity:

(1) Introduce += etc so we can write CountOfLumberJacksAvailable += 1
(2) Use a friendlier name, esp if it is meant to be typed in by newbies.
(3) Design a tool that highlights all the first appearance of a name.

These fixes would be useful for everyone _including programmers_.
BTW, the patch for error message was really great!
