Views UI lets you create/clone views such that there can be a view "Events" and another view "events". Drupal's menu handler however (or perhaps it's the web browsers and/or web servers?) are not case sensitive, so admin/build/views/edit/Events is handled exactly the saem as admin/build/views/edit/events, and only one view is editable.

That's kind of surprising, actually. The same database comparison that loads the view should be used to test for equality during name validation. Annoying edge case!

Currently this is tested by using views_get_view which doesn't check for case-sensitive names.

I'm wondering whether it's better to write a custom sql query for the add-view validation because adding a case-insensitive query might be slower and shouldn't be good for every views_get_view.
