Leave ''what'' to the user? Figuring out that the system is squashing
everything to uppercase and making the necessary adjustments? In case you
think otherwise, you're not currently offering any flexibility in exchange
for a serious usability impediment.
> In addition, I wonder if windows actually supports case-sensitivity in
variable names,
It does, in the sense that if you ask it to list the environment
variables, it will show them to you with the case you originally specified
them with. It does not, in the sense that you can't have two separate
variables called "Foo" and "foo".
> and cmd.exe just coerces everything to uppercase.
cmd.exe does not coerce.
