Case matters. Any bets on when we'll see a font-sensitive programming language? (Actually, I've already seen one, in a very weak sense. It was a C compiler that completely ignored reverse-video characters in its input -- and that emitted reverse-video error messages directly into the source it was compiling. Convenient for one particular use case, but not what you'd call "scalable" ...) -- Eric Sosman esosman@ieee-dot-org.invalid
