I'm wondering if there is a reason
|mezzanine.core.auth_backends.MezzanineBackend| doesn't support

|mezzanine.accounts.forms.ProfileForm| enforces case-insensitive
username uniqueness when registering, so it seems like it would be
natural to allow them for logging in. It feels to me like a bug that
it doesn't.
I bring this up because I've had users of my site write to me
bewildered that they can't log in, and then it turns out they had
capitalization in their username and just assumed that it wouldn't
matter, as is the case on other sites.
If others do not agree that it is a bug, perhaps adding a setting for
this would be appropriate. In any case I would be happy to work on a
PR if there is agreement on a change.
I've certainly had the case where users have contacted me because they'd
put some capitalisation in their original signup email address and then
tried to log in using it in all lowercase -- and in the case of email
addresses, case is DEFINITELY not important - so I don't know why it
seems to be for the Mezzanine/Django login.
So if usernames are also not case sensitive, we should definitely fix it
for both.
