[antlr-interest] case in-sensitive literals (possible bug?)

I think I found an answer. It seems antlr is not even using
caseSensitiveLiterals flag.
I overrode testLiteralsTable method and put ToLower() in there and it all
seems fine:
public override int testLiteralsTable(int ttype)
{ try {
int literalsIndex = (int) literals[text.ToString().ToLower()];
ttype = literalsIndex;
return ttype;
} catch { return ttype; }
}
I was doing this in C# and I tought maybe it was C# bug, but it seems java
implementation does the same thing.
Is it possible that this feature is not supported yet, or is there something
else I need to do.
