I want to be polite but I find it just ignorant to say "search tools should 
become smarter..." because one of the search tools is my brain and my brain 
says: foo_bar != foobar != fooBar. That is leaving the audience to cope with a 
design decision based on a personal opinion. And yes. This is my personal 
opinion.

Besides that there is also very little chance that editor authors around the 
world will make their search (like 'identical word highlighting') "Nim" 
compatible. This can be avoided by using the same style consistently oneself 
but defies nonetheless the argument.

I would ask: What are the pros and what are the cons of 100% matching 
identifiers. I do not see many cons besides some fuzzy "freedom of choice" 
feeling.

For me programming is about accuracy! I don't want "fuzzy" identifiers. I also 
find it a bit amusing that a typed language has fuzzy identifiers.
