I think that leaving metadata identifiers intact (as originally defined),
without upper casing or lower casing them, would improve Firebird
enormously. From what SET has said here, and from what I have read
elsewhere, doing this will NOT violate the SQL standards as long as
processing of these identifiers is done in a non-case sensitive way.
Handling of quoted identifiers, of course, would remain unchanged.
