I do it all the time, in numerical code. If you have two pairs of points, for example, it is very natural to name them "a,A,b,B"

And just to clarify once again, since I'm not sure who will read which reply: those are NOT the same identifiers in Nim!

    let
      a = 11
      b = 22
      A = 99
      B = 88

    echo a == A # false
    echo b == B # false

Run the code in the Nim Playground if you don't believe: https://play.nim-lang.org/#ix=20kr

great!

then I don't really understand nim's case insensitivity rules

[rafaelvasco]

Only the first char is case sensitive. The rest is case and underline insensitive;

Oh, my god! How do people reach this kind of ideas?
