Does the reader fold case by default, and if so how? Do we allow reader-syntax, macros, or parameters to toggle case-folding?

MzScheme, Gauche, Gambit, Chicken, Bigloo, scsh, Guile, Chez, s7, sscm, Chibi are case-insensitive by default.

MIT, Scheme48, Kawa, SISC, SCM, Scheme 9, SXM, VSCM are case-sensitive by default.

My views are given in extenso at CaseSensitivityArcfide.
