Hi Nikita,
I'm a terrible person for only bringing this up now (I apologise for not
following the list as closely as I used to), but one reason
case-insensitive constants are maybe useful is they leave open the
possibility of being able to access functions as values in future: like
some constants, function names are case-insensitive, and a fallback
could be added to constant accesses to return a closure of the function
with the same name if no constant is found.
Of course, removing case-insensitive constants wouldn't preclude such a
feature, just make it a little more annoying to implement, so this is
not really a significant reason to vote against. To that end, I'll vote
in favour of this deprecation.
Thanks!
