I proposed making class names case-sensitive and it was clearly rejected, most considering it is a *huge* BC break for almost no benefit. I personally don't know any software which uses class names in a case-insensitive manner but it seems others do ! I am not sure, but scalar type hints were probably implemented as case-insensitive too. In other words, if you're ready to relaunch the case-sensitivity discussion, feel free to do it. 2. Anyway, basing name conflict resolution on naming conventions is not acceptable, in my opinion. PSR-1 is just a convention. We cannot resolve name conflicts in the core based on this. If we want to go that way, let's display an E_STRICT message when encountering an all-lowercase class name, but that's another debate and I don't think anyone is willing to enforce PSR rules in the core.
