------------------------------------
Hi All,
I'm OK with making the mappings {{0-O 1-I}} optional. I'd like community
feedback on what the default should be.

> Base32.decode should support lowercase letters

> Key: CODEC-234
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CODEC-234
> Project: Commons Codec
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Affects Versions: 1.10
> Reporter: Christopher Schultz
> Priority: Minor
> Attachments: CODEC-234.diff
>
>
> Base32.decode accepts a String input, but any lowercase characters are
> ignored -- e.g. Base32.decode("abcd2345") will give a different result than
> Base32.decode("ABCD1234") with no errors and a surprise to a developer.
> Accepting any case is desirable, as RFC 4648 makes it clear that
> case-insensitivity is a goal for Base32 encoding.
