I'm not really arguing that, my only serious point is that Scheme's cultural
bias towards all-lowercase identifiers, which Noel referenced, is likely to
start eroding once case-sensitivity is standard.

SISC does something like this when mapping Java names.  I'm not sure what it
does with names like BlahURL.  It's possible to override the default
mapping, though.  SISC might have an advantage since it only cares about a
single external environment, Java, which has a fairly consistent naming
convention.

One thing that occurs to me is that just because the reader is
case-sensitive doesn't mean that all identifiers have to be.  You could have
a system in which uses of identifiers declared or imported from a
case-sensitive source must use the exact original case, whereas other
identifiers would remain case-insensitive.  Wouldn't that give the best of
both worlds?  Of course, it's more complicated than just making all
identifiers case-sensitive.
