Description

As an alternative/adjunct to more backend-involved features like case-insensitive search, it would be helpful to have modulators (or is it operators? with-options?) uppercase and lowercase that could be applied arbitrarily in the same way that other modulators are. This would, among other things, allow for more efficient loads of indexed values (e.g., an unfolded traversal that selected certain properties, prefixed them with lc., and saved the lowercase value for later query) and for less-inefficient server-side case-insensitive traversals of values that are inherently case-sensitive (by doing a full scan, but still server-side). Based on the architecture, it seems that adding support for these modulators would be minimally invasive for backend systems, in contrast to richer features.
