I could be completely wrong on this one, but Pascal not caring about case would've made it more available on machines where lower case was not available, but taken for other needs (like cyrillic). Not sure if it would've made difference (given the COCOM and Eastern Block), but my Apple ][ clone had cyrillic instead of lowercase letters... Or maybe my memory serves me wrong, and lower-case latin were not cyrillic, but somehow that's what I remember (was long time ago)...
