Yeah, I like that better too; I've been having to stop and think
every time as to which direction is which with the [in]sensitive
terminology. I'll make it "case-fold" throughout.

Were it not for the underscore case, we could plausibly assume that
the supplied keywords are already all-lower-case and don't need any
further folding. But I agree that this comment is probably more
confusing than helpful; it's easier just to see that the code is
applying the same transform as the runtime lookup will do.

Agreed, will do.
Thanks for reviewing!
