I am also surprised to find out that Fortran variables are case insensitive! This makes me realize that tsoil(8) is TSOIL(8). TSOIL is
an array declared and used at the top.

Ah. I hadn't thought of that possible confusion. I was thinking about
much more subtle things.

I was recently working with a program that had been converted from
upper case to lower case. In upper case it may make some sense
to have variables named both LL and L1 in the same program.
I don't recommend it in lower case as ll and l1.
