I would definitely not want to see any ini settings. There should not be
ini settings that change language semantics, it'd be a nightmare to
maintain and trying to write supported reqs for an app would look like
whole page of settings eventually if we do it.
With that, I don't think it'd break every single app - many apps
actually now, thanks to modern IDEs, are pretty consistent with names,
and most problems can be figured out by a tool. But I agree that such
things should not be a top priority. There are many things that would
have much better impact on much broader category of developers than
fixing small annoyance with a change having huge price tag (the same
goes for renaming functions, etc.).
