Case sensitivity would certainly increase the available namespace.. but, but - are you *barking* mad? :) This is a very fundamental change - even thinking about trying to convince the core (or myself) that this is a good idea makes my teeny tiny brain hurt. however.. I suppose that this is one possible creative solution. :) Here is another option. What about implementing classes in the source that handle the naming and namespace issues? Something like: str::tokenize str::split str::join (Sterling, I hope you are reading this ;) --zak
