Case sensitivity in modules?
Hello,
Why was Scheme made case insensitive in the first place?
I have a module
(module modtest mzscheme
(provide foo bar)
(define foo (lambda () (equal? 'hello 'hello)))
(define bar (lambda () (equal? 'hello 'Hello)))
)
I expect (foo) -> #t and (bar) -> #f when running with case sensitivity
on.
So, I fire up MzScheme (200a12) with 'mzscheme -g'
Welcome to MzScheme version 200alpha12, Copyright (c) 1995-2002 PLT
Identifiers and symbols are initially case-sensitive.
> (equal? 'hello 'Hello)
#f
> (require "modtest.ss")
> (foo)
#t
> (bar)
#t
> (equal? 'hello 'Hello)
#f
Putting a (read-case-sensitive #t) in the module doesn't seem to
convince it that I want it to be case sensitive. I have read of the PLT
Language Manual concerning modules (5.8) and am at a loss as to how to
cajole my module into being a more sensitive partner in my programming.
Help?
Thanks,
Matt
