But shouldn't someone who is making the case for case-sensitivity double-check
the cases that they are writing in.  This shows how easy it is to accidentally
mess up a case that could take days to find depending upon your compiler.  And 
if you want types, variable, pointers, functions, etc. to have similiar names,
try a convention like tname, vname, pname, fname, etcname.  I will live with 
the C (or is it c) case-sensitivity, but I don't have to like it.
