Hi Daniel, Sjored
As I said I too think case-sensitive is better :) Now, my goal is consistency, so either
change it all to case-sensitive, or the opposite makes me happy. I just want to keep
the break small at the same time.
You've made a good point in deprecations that I haven't taken into consideration of.
Surely, deprecations exists as a way to hold the BC break as small as possible for
changes, and that make sense to me. Now, given this idea, I'd lean to the case-sensitive
side because deprecations make the break small enough to me, and I don't see the
advantage of this current proposal.
I don't want to debate about why case-sensitive is better. I'd say its quite a common view
for today's developers. Or maybe I am the only one thinking that way.
I will stop this proposal and add this (stop using case-insensitive extension names) to the
8.7 deprecation RFC later instead.
