Type: defect
Priority: major
Component: Lexical syntax
Version: 5.91
In <3.2. Lexical syntax>: Scheme should not be case sensitive.  After  
thirty years, what new argument came up to justify this change? Does  
this mean that (eq? 'symbol 'SYMBOL) ==> #f ?  This means that years  
of tradition of writing quoted symbols in upper case in macros for  
clarity will end and that lots of existing code will have to be  
painstakingly pored over and fixed with no clear benefit.
