Yeah, I just thing that the usefulness of the language is more
important than its culture...

This sounds like its going to the direction of what Allegro CL has.
(See first Google result for "allegro case sensitive".)  My subjective
opinion is that if you find yourself writing such a manual just to
explain case sensitiveness, then you're overdoing it.  In CL you don't
really have a choice since the language spec is so much more rigid.
