yes, that's what I meant.

No, I guess we can support case sensitive and provide a case
insensitive version of each parameter. This is, if the user supplies
{random_plug(Id=>XXX,LaLa=>33)}{random_plugin}
we pass to the plugin:

$Id=XXX, $id=&$Id;
$LaLa=33, $lala=&$LaLa;

This will work for old plugins and new ones can use lowercase params.
