First, it is confusing. Virtually all programming languages of today
(and lilypond's input code resembles that) are case-sensitive.
Second, as David has already mentioned, the conversion to either
lowercase or uppercase is locale dependent.
Third, the numbers of short user-definable abbreviations gets halved.
Something like
F = \markup { "Horn in F" }
would no longer be possible because \f is already in use.
Fourth, Scheme is not case-insensitive. Should everything starting
with `#' be case-sensitive then? Otherwise we couldn't fully access
our own extension language.
