Just lowercase (or uppercase, if you like) your user names before you
stick 'em in the database or query for them.
Case-insensitive docids are not efficient - Because A and a are not
the same value, and you'd have to check for every permutation of
capitAliZatION to see if the docid was taken.

Don't you think default to case-insensitive search will be better?

If you know what you are doing and have a good reason to use
case-sensitive
usernames then go ahead, but for the rest of us, it should be as
simple
as
it can.
How Couch people say - case-insensitive username is more relaxing :)
CouchDB uses document lookups to find users, so doing this would
involve making docids case-insensitive, which isn't gonna happen.
The good answer would be to add whatever iPhone tags you have to add
to keep it from doing that stupid auto-shift key thing on login
forms.
I'd love a patch for that against this file:

The question is whether CouchDB should force everyone to do that or
not. I think it should not.
