Excuse me? I'm putting forward a perfectly reasonable argument.
The reason I've heard cited for case insensitivity is that with
case sensitivity, you have one English word in your program
which stands for multiple things, which is confusing, for example
if you are doing the "telephone test" for code readability (that
is, seeing if someone else can understand the code upon hearing
it read instead of looking at it). But since Ada already allows
one English word to stand for multiple things, I don't find this
argument convincing.
