That's because that's not a reindexing issue.  It's a capitalization
issue.  Postgresql folds to lower case automatically.  That is documented,
but much earlier in the documentation.

However, it's not covered in the reference documentation.  Should such
things have a section in the reference manual?  I.e. should I be able to
just read the reference docs and know this?  I would think the reference
manual should have a section on SQL compliance / differences and things
like this.  Not in the conversational tone of the User's Manual but in a
more technical documentation type format.

But how would that be organized?  What would go in it?
