Please reassure me that this means what I think it does: you want to update
Python so that a future version of the language supports two modes, case
insensitive for beginners and case sensitive for experts?

If so, please go ahead, and let me carry on, as an expert, using case to
make important, subtle but useful distinctions.

If your desire is to move the language to being case insenstive for all of
us: please don't.  Really.  Please.
