Allow me rephrase. I'd never make TIDs universally case-insensitive; I'd

Just to add my two cents, I kind of think that a larger issue
is being skirted around here. The incentive to add functionality
to the text item delimiters is based upon the fact that so many
of us rely upon them as a work-around for the lack of proper
string commands.
If AppleScript strings had built-in methods for searching,
replacing, case-changeing, and/or finding an index, this question
of improving the tids wouldn't even be an issue.
Rather than improve the ability to perform a kludge,
let's improve AppleScript's core functionality. :)
