1.3.4 Uppercase and Lowercase

Scheme doesn’t distinguish uppercase and lowercase forms of a letter except within character and string constants; in other words, Scheme is case-insensitive. For example, ‘Foo’ is the same identifier as ‘FOO’, and ‘#x1AB’ is the same number as ‘#X1ab’. But ‘#\a’ and ‘#\A’ are different characters.
