Ew. No. I have to put in my voice AGAINST that. It annoyed the CRAP out
of me in Visual Basic back before I learned Qt. The problem with case
autocorrection is that sometimes you have different variables in
different scopes and the correction doesn't know which one is correct.
Potentially even worse is when you have a global constant in ALLCAPS and
a local variable in camelCase, and the two aren't even related. This is
particularly troublesome when a system header file defines a constant
you don't even know about.
