Properties case-sensitiv ??

Hi,

why are the properties case sensitiv. I would expect that
$user.firstName is the same like $user.FirstName

The method which will be invoked is constructed with appending "get" and
make the first letter upper case, or not ??

What is the reason that the first letter have to be upper-case. Is a error
source for the designer that must not exist (in my opinion)

bye
Thomas
