I think you are over-estimating how inconsistent Nim code typically is. I have been coding in Nim for a very long time and I personally just use case insensitive search (which I use for all languages anyway).

It's easy to tell from context what the identifier will be. If the code base is snake_case then I search for `foo_bar` if not then I search for `fooBar`. I cannot remember a single time this has failed me, and even if it does then the worst case is you'll need to search for the other alternative. There is really no trouble here and I feel like a lot of people, when they see this feature, worry too much because it's so different. Please please please reconsider, I know it's a strange feature and it doesn't feel worth it, but it really isn't a problem at all.
