Ok, I've taken a look at the code. Right now lower() is used for two purposes:
1. comparisons (eq and ne) 2. globbing and matching While (1) could be dropped, for (2) I think we want glob("*.py") to find "SETUP.PY" under Windows. Anything else will probably be surprising to users of that platform.
OT, but, why is .lower() used for case folding in these use-cases instead of .casefold()?
