English (and other Latin-alphabet languages) is mostly
case-INsensitive.  There's sometimes a difference between Bill and bill,
but bILL, BILL, bIlL are just silly versions of the same word.

There are some conventions in some c-based languages of using a symbol
with a leading Capital letter, and a different, but related symbol
spelled the same except for a leading lower-case letter. Beyond that, I
doubt there's much sense in case-sensitivity outside of obfuscated code
contests.  Best practices in c-type coding have fairly strict spelling
rules to avoid the madness.

HLASM has it right.
