Bug description

Full_Name: chris quinn
Version: 3.06
OS:
Submission from: 212.42.169.63 (212.42.169.63)

if a module name deserves to appear in code in uppercase
ie. SQL.search
then the filename must be sQL.ml.
but any file (cmo) beginning with an upper case letter is effectively
invisible to the ocaml linker (but not to the compiler or
interpreter!)
given this un-useful invisibility, why not simply allow an SQL.ml file
name and search for any of {s,S}QL.cm{o,i}?

reason: for me there is a mental burden/delay: i see "SQL.xyz"
in the source, i go to open the corresponding file,
cannot find it, then remember to lowercase the first letter.
what a drag...
