The task description needs to state what is needed to complete the task.
Maybe a more descriptive title? Something like "Variable case sensitivity"?

“Variable name case sensitivity” is probably better still. (Mind you, hardly anyone uses case insensitive variable contents any more; some ideas are better off dying.) –Donal Fellows 09:44, 7 February 2011 (UTC)

Yes... for better or worse, case insensitivity under unicode can be nightmarish (as can be just about anything else that wants to treat characters abstractly and consistently). --Rdm 15:57, 7 February 2011 (UTC)

I nominate "Variable identifier case sensitivity". We can of course have redirects from other candidates. --Mwn3d 20:13, 7 February 2011 (UTC)
