RE: I agree. Dot variables should just be for TYPE variables

I agree, capital lettering is a much better way to separate words in QBASIC. In fact, I intend for QB64 to act like QBASIC in normalizing variable names to the same case style with one big difference... QB64 will use the case a variable was defined with and use this case consistently across the whole program. Isn't that nice! I found it a bloody annoyance how if I typed a variable differently every other place the variable was used would change its case.
So, if I type:
DIM MyFavVarName AS INTEGER
It would matter if I typed any of the following:
myfavvarname=1
Myfavvarname=1
MYFAVVARNAME=1
They would automatically be changed to MyFavVarName
