I think allowing the user to set the mode is very bad. Choose one or
the other but don't let it be changeable. You'll get things where
this person contributes something in that case mode, but you use the
other case mode and things break in weird ways.
I would fight for case sensitive maxima (ick!) long before I would
fight for a user-selectable case sensitivity mode.
