I'm not sure about this, because it would require us to do a full
directory scan of all dirs in @INC.
Although I'm trying not to optimize in advance, I do need formfu to be
light weight enough to run in a CGI (non-persistent) environment.
I'm sure if case-insensitivity meant such a scan happening on every
miss, most people would just use the correct case as a matter of
course, so we wouldn't really gain anything in adding it.

Is there any other implementation that could give us this?
