An honest question: Would anybody want to use, say,
"TempMemory" and "tempmemory" as names for different objects?
Or do you simply want to be forced to write "TempMemory" whenever
you have declared it spelled this way, without the intention
to ever use "tempmemory" for something different?

What could be the advantage of case sensitive identifiers?
