But I suggest, for maximal portability, to treat names as case
sensitive.
Ah, cool. Agreed, my preference is just to keep everything
case-sensitive.
I wonder though, would it make sense to make differing case in
import statements a compiler error? And possibly give it a
similar switch to optlink for ignoring case if need be? I hit
this error because of a typo in one of my import statements, but
the error message I got back from the linker didn't do a good job
of pointing out my mistake (as is understandably true for most
linker errors). For a simple and easy-to-catch typo, it seems
like we could provide a better error message by catching this in
the compiler :)
