Guys, this is a really pointless discussion.
Even if you believe (as I happen to do) that there should be a warning for case mismatches that honors scope rules and does not detect case mismatches where the different cases are used in different contexts, the fact is that Frank does not believe that is necessary or useful and so he is not interested in implementing it which is perfectly within his rights. If folks want a warning to work in a different way then they need to find a way to implement it, not just argue with Frank who clearly has thought through the issue and made his own decision. We (and he) have heard all these arguments already several times and just repeating them is unlikely to get any results.
I completely agree with your point of view here. Nice summary!
Let's get onto some work now (and leave Frank to do his work).
Cheers,
