I'm a little surprised they are even considering removing the feature. It seems like a key selling point of Nim.


I think if they did remove insensitivity then there would be an immediate cry for "import restyling" of some kind, but I'm not sure that is so hard to do at the same time. Something like import lib {.unstyled.} would make the feature both more precise (just imported symbols, not also w_HIl_E) and more explicit (just listed libraries). And it could (maybe) be more explicit still like import lib {.style: asCamel.}


Why do we need all the options--couldn't Nim decide on a case-style is and import as that? Perhaps the time of that choice has passed.
