The class loader basically maps all namespace parts to path parts, while 
the casing is kept (for any namespace part after vendor and extension):

\MyVendor\MyExtension\Task\RetrieveFileImap

is resolved to:

typo3conf/ext/my_extension/Classes/Task/RetrieveFileImap.php



\MyVendor\MyExtension\Task\RetrieveFileIMAP

is resolved to:

typo3conf/ext/my_extension/Classes/Task/RetrieveFileIMAP.php



\MyVendor\MyExtension\FOO\BAR\bAz

is resolved to:

typo3conf/ext/my_extension/Classes/FOO/BAR/bAz.php

It is a matter of taste. I also do not like it very much but I 
understand and enjoy the consistency in this CGL rule. (I never have to 
ask myself how to deal with casing, thus it is faster and less error prone)

Kind regards,
Helmut
