   I made that suggestion, and the only response at the time was negative.

I'm very fickle.
I think also a global case-sensitivity switch is considerably hard
than the patch Henrique proposed, but somehow I feel that the patch
Henrique proposed better belongs in the MTA.

I dunno. Maybe we should just commit it, solve this problem, and go on
with life.
