Comment (by jrf):

 > Since PHP namespaces are case-insensitive, is there any chance to
 capitalize that as `WPorg\Requests\`, so that the capitalization of WP is
 consistent in lines like this and across the project in genera?

 @SergeyBiryukov Good question. We did actually discuss that as well.

 For the PSR-4 class name to path translation in the autoloaders (both the
 supported Composer autoloader as well as the custom autoloader), the
 namespace and class names have to be treated case-sensitively as otherwise
 this would break when code is run on case-sensitive OS-es, like *nix and
 MacOS.

 To then treat the ''namespace prefix'' case-insensitively would be
 inconsistent, especially as this could only be supported when using the
 custom autoloader, but would break when using the Composer autoloader,
 which is why it was decided to not support that.
