+====
+Case insensitivity is allowed for the first letter of property names. Thus, the
+expressions in the above example may be written as `Birthdate.Year + 1900` and
+`PlaceOfBirth.City`, respectively. In addition, properties may optionally be accessed via
+method invocations -- for example, `getPlaceOfBirth().getCity()` instead of
+`placeOfBirth.city`.
