  Its set to produce a compiler "Warning" by default now.

    (for inconsistent usage) As background, style insensitivity was introduced so that codebases can use a consistent camelCase or snake_case regardless of the style used by upstream libraries.

      Which as an aside, makes writing and using C bindings so lovely.

        Well, maybe not writing. Occasionally low-level C libraries - especially those that deal with keyboard input - decide to provide identifiers differing only in case... There's a WIP RFC for providing a way to deal with identifiers that need to be verbatium by surrounding them with backticks, though. https://github.com/nim-lang/RFCs/issues/477 https://github.com/nim-lang/RFCs/issues/477
