Why "aCase" rather than "Case" in modules.php?

Hello everyone,
I am using SugarCRM 6.5.x CE version. I want to ask this question to everyone from official SugarCRM personals to everyone who uses SugarCRM in a daily life. In include/modules.php file why did they mentioned

$beanList['Cases'] = 'aCase';

rather than

$beanList['Cases'] = 'Case';

this, like any other modules mentioned in that file?

"case" is a reserved PHP keyword. I guess this is the reason why SugarCRM engineers couldn't use this as a module name.

Case is a reserved keyword

As for its usage as a string... Yes, we can use the reserved keywords in a string but thats not the only reference.

We cannot name the module class name as "Case". We also then cant instantiate the class using new Case();
