3. ZCatalog stores objects in a pre-sorted order. Changing the sort order of any object (not just strings) would break *all* existing ZCatalog instances that store mixed case strings. (and other applications too - the python language reference documents that this assmption is safe at least until python3k)
Looking at this and other reasons I won't try to hack ZCatalog. I'll stick to making lower case string indexes.... Seems the safest all around.
