Perhaps the people who want this can get together and write a PEP that explains the motivation and why the alternatives don't work? (E.g. when you need case-insensitive variable names, perhaps it's just as easy to preprocess the source code?) --Guido van Rossum (home page: http://www.python.org/~guido/)
