Perhaps, but the problem is that Utypes are used "outside" a data
model, and can be passed around in many environments and languages,
input as parameters or URLs, etc.  Case-sensitivity works well in lower
level, compiled type situations, but is likely to cause problems in
the kind of usage we will have with Utypes where there can be many
layers of software involved.
