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.

Thank you for explanation. Basically there is a reason behind all this. I have added 'file upload' field in case module and it was working. But it didn't let me to download that uploaded file. It was giving me "Type not valid" error. When i checked into download.php, i understood that, it was looking for "aCase.php" file in modules/Cases directory. So, I added some conditions in download.php file for case module. So, now it's working. I know that it's not upgrade safe. But thats what I want to highlight here. I mean for Case module, there should be some conditions in download.php file, so we can download that uploaded file like we do in document of note module.
Once again thanks for explanation. I appreciate.
