 28.1.4 Case Sensitivity
 -----------------------
 
 Scheme as defined in R5RS is not case sensitive when reading symbols.
 Guile, on the contrary is case sensitive by default, so the identifiers
 
      guile-whuzzy
      Guile-Whuzzy
 
    are the same in R5RS Scheme, but are different in Guile.
 
    It is possible to turn off case sensitivity in Guile by setting the
 reader option `case-insensitive'.  More on reader options can be found
 at ( Reader options).
 
      (read-enable 'case-insensitive)
 
    Note that this is seldom a problem, because Scheme programmers tend
 not to use uppercase letters in their identifiers anyway.
