You saying that made me somewhat suspicious that I might have overlooked
something, and indeed it seems so; I made an assumption that the character
data of tokens was being converted to upper case by that solution, but on
second reading it seems that this is only done for matching purposes. I have
lots of stuff (quoted strings, etc) that must not be touched. Hm. I may
rethink :)
