I have accounts in systems were that is used -- for example, in one I
have a lower-case username 'jas' for the ordinary user and an uppercase
variant 'JAS' as a personalized admin account.

In general, I believe that any I18N solution that disallow reasonable
semantics of how username and passwords are interpreted will be
completely ignored.  What can (and should) be discussed is what
"reasonable semantics" means.  But forcing uppercase and lowercase
characters to be regarded as the same is to me so completely and
obviously unreasonable that I believe there is a disconnect between
requirements and solution.
