Indeed.  I can't think of any good reason for someVariableName and
somevariablename to exist seperately in the same namespace, and quite a few
reasons why that'd be awful.  Furthermore, I suspect that many development
tools are probably also case-sensitive; imagine if ctags or etags were only
able to find someRandomFunction and not soMeRanDoMfuNctIOn.
