I don't, but I'm just trying to see if we can evaluate the work that
would be required to make lookups case-insensitive, rather than
lowercasing the entity names. If you think it's very hard, then,
OK, let's consider your approach.
Note that with Ada, one can still export entities using a name that
has mixed casing. We allow the user to reference them from GDB using
the "<[...]>" syntax (Eg: "print "<My_Exported_Variable>"). If you
lowercase everything, you won't be able to do allow that for Fortran.
