1.55 - lowercase variable error messages

Description

Hi Bi,

it confused me completely that variable names are being complained in lower case. I didnt see this error before, but this means not that i just failed to recognize it.

Because it is a completely different variable: please to not "toLowerCase" them.
I was confused that i mixed things up and searched it like mad.

1374 if( typeName aj_VehicleStoreContent != "ARRAY" && cou>
1375 21:38:23 Error position: <aj_VehicleStoreContent != "ARRAY" && cou>
1376 21:38:23 Error Undefined variable in expression: aj_vehiclestorecontent

The message itself is untinteresting. Handling whatif cases at the moment to get a reasonable logging.

There is no difference between MyVariBle = 123; and myvariabLe = 123; The error displays variable name in lower case for unification. It has been like this since beginning of time.

This is pretty annoying but at least it reminds you that all variables are case-insensitive. I would rather see all variable names converted to lowercase than to preserve the case in some situations and convert them to lowercase in others.
