Why are article names case sensitive? There doesn't seem a good reason for
it - multiple articles that differ in case would be unnecessarily confusing.

Changing it to be case insensitive would make it simpler to get links
right, reduce the need for redirects, and just generally (as far as
I can see) be a Good Thing.


I'm sure there's arguments against that I can't see - what are they?
