Namespace capitalization

When I make a new console app that references another assembly where that assembly has a namespace like “SandW”, the compiler gives me warning:

Warning	1	(W0) Case for identifier "SandW" does not match original case "sandw"	C:\Users\Mark\Documents\Visual Studio 2013\Projects\Encryption\consoleapplication7\consoleapplication7\Program.pas	22	7	consoleapplication7

I know it is only a warning, but why is it happening at all?

Java and android want their package names (namespaces) to be lowercase. So the compiler enforces that.

ah. Seems a particularly goofy "want’ considering everything else is case sensitive. Oh well.

Thanks for clearing that up.
