Would you please start a separate thread about this? I can imagine
the indexes being more useful both ways, and we ought to be able to
arrange for ASCII-case-insensitive sorting independent of locale if we
conclude that it's a good idea.
(The most obvious question here is whether all the UPPERCASE_CONSTANTS
should get their own thumb notches, but there may be other factors.)
