Or will you explain that you use this feature in the sense that you distinct names by there case? My point is that every definition may be changed. For what I know at least some C compilers offers a compiler switch to turn that rubbish of. It's only kept for some code obfuscating freaks that possibly might use it.

You are mixing language definition with methods implementation.

I don't see something that is ridiculous and needs to change. I still don't know what we are discussing. If we are discussing case sensitivity in some languages and particularly in C# I would definitely disagree that C# should be case insensitive. It is defined as part of the language (you can find C# language definition here):
