I don't think people should write code that differentiates by case, but
case-sensitive coding leads to consistency in naming, so you will not read
MySQL_ConneCt somewhere and mysql_connect somewhere else, while it means the
same thing...
An unwanted side-effect is that it allows people to differentiate using
case.
Cheerio, Marc.
