[Bug 8260] New: The name apparently must be compared in an ASCII case-insensitive manner, even though it is guaranteed to already be all ASCII lowercase from the tokenizer. It would make more sense to compare it case-sensitively (like it is earlier in the "initial" mode)

           Summary: The name apparently must be compared in an ASCII case-
                    insensitive manner, even though it is guaranteed to
                    already be all ASCII lowercase from the tokenizer. It
                    would make more sense to compare it case-sensitively
                    (like it is earlier in the "initial" mode)

though it is guaranteed to already be all ASCII lowercase from the tokenizer.
It would make more sense to compare it case-sensitively (like it is earlier in
the "initial" mode).
