True, very true.  While mapinfo would be better had they picked one case /
quoting methodology and stuck to it, the lack of a fold_to_upper setting
or something similar in postgresql is a glaring flaw givin that folding to
lower is against spec, not just doing something a certain way because no
one bothered to define it.

Any chance a patch to set a GUC for case folding would get applied?
