Hmm.  After bothering to find a copy of R4RS on the web, I see that
even R4RS wants identifiers to be case-insensitive.  Guile is supposed
to implement R4RS by default... :(

So maybe that default should change.

How does the list feel about this?  Would making Guile default to
case-insensitivity cause people problems that are going to be a pain
to work around?
