What is the insane name mangling and case sensitivity that you mentioned there?

  `Transfer` is an event, `transfer` is a function. This [0] is from TheDAO attack and is one of the (many) bugs making the attack so terrible. As for name mangling, read this [1] and see if it seems sane to you. For bonus points [2], `this.foo()` and `foo()` mean two wildly different things. I don't even know what they were thinking.
