'limits your expression'? BWA!!! Show me some examples. I think it's much more work to remember the distinction and usage of two variables or files or folders which are spelled the same but have a different case than it is to create a 2nd variable or file or folder with a different name. I wonder how often programmers avail themselves of case-sensitivity by utilizing the same spelling with a different case. I'd guess very rarely if at all. In that case, the case for case-sensitivity is a cold-case...
