Right. And that would be very bad for existing code. Our Ada 83 coding
standard used Title case reserved words:

    Procedure Foo Is
        MAX : Constant Integer := 10;
    Begin
        If Expr > MAX Then ...
    End Foo;

The entire Janus/Ada compiler is formatted like this. I'm pretty sure
that I'd have an opinion on a language change which made all of that
code illegal. :-) :-)
