The fact that some people write "do_something" or "do_Something" or "Do_Something" or even "DO_SOMETHING" and it points to a single function because of case insensitivity does NOT cause a genuine problem - except in the minds of a few nit-picking, anal retentive OCD sufferers
wow - sue your dealer!
I'm sorry, but reading code where the case of a word changes the meaning of that word will make that code LESS readable, not MORE
how comes when the same word is written over the whole codebase *identically* that for it is harder to read?
That is not what I said. Taking the same function name and allowing different versions to exist with different implementations would be a recipe for disaster whereas the situation which you are complaining about is nothing more than mildly annoying - except if you are a nit-picking, anal retentive OCD sufferer in which case it signals the arrival of the four horsemen of the apocalypse. -- Tony Marston
