New issue 352: Make ANY_META case insensitive?
https://bitbucket.org/blais/beancount/issues/352/make-any_meta-case-insensitive
Martin Michlmayr:
This is just an idea so feel free to close if you disagree.
Metadata tags have start with a lowercase letter. I wonder if ANY_META should ignore the case of the first letter (i.e. basically do a `lcfirst` on the argument).
I guess, more broadly, should metadata tags be completely case insensitive? Currently they aren't.
Actually, the more I think about it, I think doing the `lcfirst` as suggested doesn't make sense if the decision is to keep the case sensitivity. People used to uppercase tags (e.g. from ledger) should just get used to lowercase.
