Right, we've mentioned it before. I still think it would be possible to
make one stick, as long as you either had some kind of kludgy wrapper for
system catalogs, or a way to make them uppercase after booting up.
I maintain that if postgresql works out of spec, it should, if possible,
have a way of working within the spec if it can, so we can attract more
conversion customers from the (currently) more comlpiant databases.
