Case sensitive variable names?

Variable Names
I would really like to remove the requirement that variable names are case sensitive. I can see that the content (value) of a variable needs to be case sensitive, but do not understand why the name itself must be stringently applied.
I believe that Global_a and global_a are not the same variable. Ditto for Color="Red" and color="Red". This is very restrictive.

Function Calls
The same issues surrounds functions: IsChecked() is not accepted, but isChecked() is okay. Click(x,y) is not accepted, but click(x,y) is okay. The function call is the same, but one form creates a syntactic error.

Removing all these restrictions in an update will not affect any existing flows. Anyway these restrictions could be removed in an updated version?

Hi,

No sorry, removing this restriction affects existing flows since someone might have used upper and lower case variable names and expects the variables to be different.

Martin

Yup. Most of programming languages are case sensitive.

Furthermore, they have own coding style guides.
