NICE Language Committee: sdt-freeop-case

SDT-FREEOP-CASE

Ambiguity:

	ETL does not specifically state whether case is significant in a
	free operator. That is, is `infix "|FOO"' different from `infix
        "|foo"'?

Proposal:

	Free operators should not be case-sensitive. |FOO is the same
	as |foo.

Defense:

	This follows from the treatment of feature identifiers (which
	are case-insensitive).
