I add that this sort of effect is _very_ common in the computing word. I first encountered it on a in the 1980s.

on the QL would remember the case of any variable name in a program the first line of code that was typed with it in, and any subsequent lines entered would be case-insensitively matched and (_unlike_ ) forcibly changed to use the existing casing.

Heaven help you if you used some mad casing the first time.
