Capitalization For Syntax

In some programming languages, how a symbol is capitalized has an effect on how the language is parsed (above and beyond the trivial case of keywords in a case-sensitive language; just because "class" is a C++ keyword and "Class" is not isn't sufficient to trigger mention here). Coding conventions not enforced by the compiler (i.e. declaring C macros in ALL_CAPS) don't belong here.

Obviously, case-insensitive languages like PascalLanguage won't be listed here.
