The fact that email addresses are not defined to be case-independent
causes a lot of trouble. It is regrettable that Exim has ended up with
different defaults for expansion strings and string handling in filters.
I made the simple cases case-insensitive in filters because they were
aimed at end-users, who are often inexperienced. You can, of course,
force case-sensitive comparisons in filters if you want to.
For expansion strings, there may be the necessity of forcing either
upper or lower case.
