mmm, really?
Is this something that should be left to the database to ultimately control?
After all, looks like different DBs handle this differently.
And, I did spend the last 2 weeks trying to figure out why my code was not
authenticating properly. And I did not find any mention of case-sensitivity
being an issue that should be addressed within the DB and that Auth doesn't
know nor does it care about it.
I guess I feel it should be part of Auth to let the developer determine if
case-sensitivity is an issue or not.
