But what would be really nice, to solve the case-folding problem,
would be to have Postfix fold the case of the *account* names to
lower-case just before doing the local-delivery match. That way
all combinations of fred, FRED, etc. would be delivered to an
account called any of "fred", "Fred", "FRED", etc.

I doubt that anyone (sensible) would have both a fred and a FRED
account together on one server. Of course, this would be a
configurable option...
