FSVO supports. The last I heard "Whenever a lowercase letter (a through z) is used, the assembler considers it to be identical to the corresponding uppercase character (A through Z), except when it is used within a character string enclosed in apostrophes, or within the positional and keyword operands of macro instructions." If that still holds then only uppercase member names are supported.
