Code Igniter and CamelCase naming

[eluser]Unknown[/eluser]
Hello all,

I would like to tell you about an experience I had with Code Igniter and CamelCase naming. I had a major problem the other day when I was deploying a re-structured version of my website using Code Igniter. My site was unavailable for 30mins while I tried to sort out what the cause of the error messages was. I finally discovered that CodeIgniter wasn't happy with the CamelCase naming I had used for the filenames of my models. This resulted in me having to change the filenames to all lowercase and make the changes in over 100 places where I had referenced those classes.

What I would like to know is why Code Igniter has such tight restrictions when it comes to file naming and prefers to see practically everything in lowercase?? Beats me.
