Description
Currently case sensitivity for different names are mentioned in different places, I think adding a summary table would be useful, following is a draft.
| name | case sensitivity |
|---|---|
| keyword | case-insensitive? |
| variable | case-sensitive |
| constant | case-sensitive |
| function | case-insensitive |
| class | ? |
| interface | ? |
| trait | ? |
| namespace | case-insensitive |
| enumeration | case-sensitive |

Research direction
Start by reviewing the linked PHP manual pages for keywords, variables, constants, functions, classes, interfaces, traits, namespaces, and enumerations, and verify each case-sensitivity rule. Done means adding a single accurate summary table to the appropriate documentation location, with no unresolved entries or unsupported claims.
