Hehe :-)

The Python world tends to be sensitive about case sensitivity... The 
last version of ConfigObj (version 3) had case insensitivity, but it 
wasn't a feature much used or liked.

As with other feature requests, I'm afraid it is a case of 'patches 
welcomed'. This would complicate the parser *and* key fetching / setting 
(i.e. just about everything). If it could be done cleanly *I* wouldn't 
be particularly opposed to it though (others may have more to say).
