But shouldn't someone here at WikiWiki categorize ProgrammingLanguages by whether they treat function names, classes and variable names case-sensitive or CaseInsensitive?! Shouldn't be there be a discussion of the ProsAndCons??

• BasicLanguage - case insensitive as far as I remember

• BooLanguage - similar to Python. It is case sensitive, but there is a patch for the next version that allows you to have a case-insensitive option.
