   Fortran has a a bit of a similar issue with its C interoperability   
   feature.   
      
   Entities with C binding have global identifiers in Fortran.  Fortran   
   is a case-insensitive laguage, so FooBar and foobar look the same   
   to Fortran, and you can not have a C binding to both (but either   
   one would work).   
      
   In practice, this should not be a big problem.
