L3P and L3Lab treat the FILE case-sensitive.

I think the "file type" meta-commands are the only ones that have been
defined to NOT be case-sensitive.
And yes, the "syntax" is a mess :-)

I agree.

L3P and L3Lab:
MPD - Case-sensitive
BFC - Case-sensitive
STEP - Case-sensitive
TRANSLATE/ROTATE/SCALE/TRANSFORM - Case-sensitive
"~Moved to " - Case-sensitive (only used to show notice)
"Author:" - Case-sensitive (only used in L3Lab titlebar)
"L3P IFPOV/IFNOTPOV/ELSEPOV/ENDPOV" - Case-sensitive (L3P specific)
file type - Case-insensitive (coming in next version)
