Fortran has a a bit of a similar issue with its C interoperability
feature.

Entities with C binding have global identifiers in Fortran.  Fortran
is a case-insensitive laguage, so FooBar and foobar look the same
to Fortran, and you can not have a C binding to both (but either
one would work).

In practice, this should not be a big problem.
