Speaking as one of the morons :-) I don't like case sensitivity in
package names (it's “TclX” that causes me problems) and I certainly
think that we should be twisting people's arms to stick to lower-case in
future. I think sub-packages work better for public/private separation,
and don't have the nasties on Windows. (I also quite like Jan's idea of
old packages providing themselves twice, but I'm not deeply versed in
the details enough to know if there are any gotchas that might arise.)

The case of the “TclOO” name itself in scripts is of great unimportance
to me. If everyone wants it lower, that's fine: I'll make it happen.
