Hi Krave,

It does not matter whether you use capital letters, mixed case or lower
case. Things only matter when you use double quotes. E.g. "Baba" and "BABA"
are different but Baba and BABA or baba are all the same.
Double quotes make the things case sensitive. Double quoting lower case
won't cause any issue (IMO) as this is the default PG case.
