Well I can hardly comment on every bad idea out there that people spend time on. For example: `import module {.snake_case}`. Great idea. How exactly does that help with `grep` though? It doesn't. Next idea: Trailing `_` to make identifiers case sensitive. Ok, but that's just to avoid name clashes, the SI rules could stay exactly they are now if we use any prefix instead that it's not the "don't care" character. So let's use the Unicode middot instead: FOO· Problem solved without a new language rule. Next idea: Introducing a `strict` mode so that you're forced to be consistent in a single file. That hardly improves anything. Feel free to castigate yourself in your own code as much as you want, but don't expect me to admire you for it. I'm the one who thinks consistency is a poor man's approach to correctness and enforcing consistency everywhere is way more expensive than simply training your brain to be a bit more flexible. In fact, it's simply "untraining" the brain damage that Unix introduced.
