Re: upper/lower case

Yes, though of course this ia a matter where reasonable people
can disagree.  However, there are other Scheme implementation that
are case-sensitive, and since one of Kawa's goal's is integration
with Java, I think it makes most sense.

However. to turn off case-senstivity, you can do:

(set! symbol-read-case 'D)

That causes the Scheme reader to down-case symbols.
(You could also use 'U to up-case symbols, but then
you get into problems with the predefined functions and
macros.)
