Cross-platform case sensitivity would detect future compability problems
at an early stage. A windows (is OS X case sensitive?) developer unfamiliar
to the blessings of case-sensitivity would surprise himself once, but
before doing any damage.

POLS is well augmented by PELS (P of Early S).

Alternatively you could have a --matz flag to give give to the
interpreter that would warn you of all the non-portable things. ;)

This would be the default setting, of course...
