Hi,

In most of the C++ header files I've seem, a macro like the following is
used to guard repetitive inclusion of the file. I'm wondering why it is
always in upper case. Why not make it the same case as the file name?

What if there are two header files on is in lower case, the other is in
upper case?

Thanks,
Peng
