OK. Should we add something like this to the javadoc in order to document the
side-effect?
------------ BEGIN ------------
NOTE: The name= portion of a name=value pair will be converted to
lowercase when the object is initialized and when new data is added.
This may overwrite existing name=value pairs:
<PRE>
ParameterParser pp = data.getParameters();
pp.add("ERROR",1);
pp.add("eRrOr",2);
int result = pp.getInt("ERROR");
</PRE>
In the above example, result is 2.
------------ END ---------------
