We need to match up well with what's in the Ada standard I think. The Ada standard has an Ada.Strings.Maps.Constants.Lower_Case_Map and an Ada.Strings.Wide_Maps.Wide_Constants.Lower_Case_Map. There is no reason why we can't define things to say that keys will be fed through the appropriate Lower_Case_Map before being matched. If the language itself has some kind of problem with Ada.Strings.Wide_Maps.Wide_Constants.Lower_Case_Map, I say that is the language's problem, and outside the scope of a configuration item facility to try to worry about fixing. As long as we define what we are doing carfully this way, it is still explicit. If we stick to using the standard library, things should at least behave for people the way they have come to expect them to behave when using Ada. -- T.E.D.
