I'm sorry.
All case insensitivity does for you is reduce the available name space by a
factor of 2^n or so. I must admit that there are facets of BCPL that I
like, but that's true of just about any language you can name. Can you look
at me with a straight face and tell me it's better not to have types and
data structures?
