So, your are sure that case insensitivity is The Right Thing?

If it's the Right Thing we can all agree but I'm not sure
we can if it's only the right Thing.  Or the Right thing.

Point being: who cares?  R6 has that bit about right
in the sense where "right" means Reasonable.  Or
where "Right" means reasonable.  Or where "right"
means Reasonable.

Or Some Such.

For emphasis.
