Nothing to say about "case sensitive"... my desagree is about the 
"prohibition" of using a alphabetic valid ASCII char (Upper case or 
Lower case)... because "graphical representation" or "font look&feel"... 
for me is the same than the "prohibition" of using more than 80 chars by 
line because screen width limitation.... basically an absurd.... If you 
consider than "I" or "l" prefix are problematic... don't use them.


There is really important needs... losting time in this kind of minor 
"look&feel problems" talks very bad about D platform road map... We need 
a debugger (and other unique things... but this is a very old 
discussion).  I can't defend D language in my company because D is not a 
development platform... its only a Compiler... nothing more than this... 
basically, a toy (it's the conclusion of one recent meeting with the 
developers team in my company:  D is not valid for our needs).

Sorry...
Antonio
