That's pretty much the use case that aliases are intended to help (the other being dealing with plurals, so "tiddler" and "tiddlers" all go to the same tiddler. The trouble with case insensitive links is that they can be ambiguous; what should "life" match if we've got tiddlers called "LIFE" and "Life"?
