Alternatively, how about just leaving everything capitalized
and removing the case-insensitivity support in add_any_filter?
I wasn't happy about having to normalize the case in add_any_filter
in order to make the hash tables match the semantics of the
strcasecmp loop that they replaced, so I'd rather drop the
lowercasing in add_any_filter and just use the capital forms
throughout (with case-insensitive comparisons) unless that
breaks something else.
