No. As I already said, each release of SE is breaking existing
code. Solving this particular problem (which is not about case-
sensitivity -- Gobo supported SE's case-sensitivity for a long
time -- but about not accepting some identifiers to be of a
given letter case) is just the tree that hides the forest. I
already did this kind of changes in the past. Again, Gobo 3.4
was compiling with SE when it was released. So today we fix
this problem, and tomorrow there will be a new version of SE
breaking existing code in a different way. That's enough.
Gobo always made its best to support compilers that claimed
to support Eiffel. SE said that they are not Eiffel anymore.
End of story .. and a lot of time saved to do other more interesting
things than trying to fix broken code at each version of SE.
