    Thanks for pointing out this issue and working on a solution!
    
    I'm a little hesitant to bake the solution into JSON as this seems like 
something that could happen with any data source.  Also it seems like you might 
be able to work around it without making changes to the library itself.  Would 
something like this work for you (assuming I add `coalesce` to the dataframe 
DSL)?
    
    ```scala
    val projection = df.schema
      .map(_.name)
      .groupBy(_.toLowerCase)
      .map { 
        case (lowerCase, otherCases) => 
          coalsece(otherCases.map(df(_)).as(lowerCase)) 
      }
    
    df.select(projection: _*)
    ```
