First, it is confusing. Virtually all programming languages of today (and lilypond's input code resembles that) are case-sensitive. Second, as David has already mentioned, the conversion to either lowercase or uppercase is locale dependent. Third, the numbers of short user-definable abbreviations gets halved. Something like F = \markup { "Horn in F" } would no longer be possible because \f is already in use. Fourth, Scheme is not case-insensitive. Should everything starting with `#' be case-sensitive then? Otherwise we couldn't fully access our own extension language.
