To me, the big problem is:  If you are developing on a Unix flavor platform and
you actually use the Unix feature that MySource.c is distinct from MySource.C
you could never compile the product on a Windows system because the two distinct
files can't coexist.  Like it or not Windows is in widespread use.  We can't
ignore this issue and still be able to support development across platforms.
