FWIW I dont think this question has anything to do with naming conventions and package organizations.

As I said in the closed Example.jl issue, if you are using 0.5 or master and see any of `import`, `using`, `importall`, `require(::Symbol)` to be case insensitive in any cases, please report it as a bug. This probably only happen on case-insensitive file systems so I can't really check myself if that was the case. >> >> >> Changing ~/Example.jl to ~/fobar and it breaks. You should also be more specific about how you are loading code.

I'm not sure this is actually documented but package importing searchs for `Module/src/Module.jl`, `Module.jl/src/Module.jl`, `Module.jl` in the load path (including package directory). We should be doing this in a case sensitive way even on case sensitive system (or it's a bug). If this is not documented feel free to submit a Doc issue (or better, pull request). >> >> >
