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.
