Is it really needed?

We do not enter internal helper names (class names, anything
artificial, anything leading underscore or leading uppercase) to the
suggestions proposals so should never actually recommend any of those?

And we lowercase identifiers from the user:
$ printf "iIIi = 42\nend" | gfortran-10 -fimplicit-none -ffree-form
-xf95 - <stdin>:1:4:

Error: Symbol ‘iiii’ at (1) has no IMPLICIT type

Why would we need a case-insensitive switch for the distance?
TIA,
