Often claimed but not proved in my view.
     

Personal preference, I guess. Maybe there is a more substantial argument 
one way or the other, but I can't think of it right now.
   



those who say case doesn't matter are usually recent converts from the
windows world, where case in filenames etc does not matter. 

I have programmed in a number of languages on different platforms. 
Languages like C which force you to use a certain case sensitive

easier to understand using ToUpper), are backward.
