Probably you would reject my "but lower case code looks ugly" argument
with your "intelligent tools can handle that" argument. So I won't try to
argue that ;-)
But the same would hold for variables. That would mean you could never
name a variable "time" when there is a class Time. Even if there wasn't a
class Time at the point you wrote that code, but it is filed in later. We
have a nice pseudo-name-space for temps now, identified by the lower-case
first letter. How would you handle that?
