Language Case Discrepancies?

Hey all- I always liked the fact that classes and functions could be referenced with any character case combination. But this has finally come back to bite me. In my opinion, declaring a class like such: class AbC {} when instanciated, running a get_class() on the instanciated object should not return 'abc', but the as-declared 'AbC' (why this is important is a long story). After looking through the Zend code, I understand completely why get_class() works the way it does, which is through no fault of its own, but because of language internals. Whether or not to make variables, constants, functions, and other language-level data structures case-sensitive (or even consistent) is obviously not something that should be mandated by the needs of a few. At the same time, having a discrepancy between variable/constant and function/class case handling seems wrong. And with a little extra design, get_class() (along with get_parent_class(), etc..) could be made to return the case-correct version regardless of the case sensitivity of the language itself.
