Why not? I pictured case insensitive namespaces working so that they
retain the case of the first assignment, but all lookups would be
case-insensitive.
Ohh - right! Python itself would need changing to support this. I suppose
that faced with code such as:
def func():
if spam:
Spam=1
Python would generate code that refers to "spam" as a local, and "Spam" as
a global.
Is this why you feel it wont work?
