[ddlm-group] Case sensitivity

Is there any interest in making CIF2 case-sensitive, at least data names?

There was some discussion that names may eventually extend into the UTF 
range, even though it would be avoided for the near future. That 
complicates case-insensitive matching, because standard library 
functions are locale dependent. If data names are not strictly limited 
to 7-bit ASCII, it would be good to make names case-sensitive.

Thanks,
Joe Krahn
