   Nope -- haven't played with 'caseSensitive', sorry. I posted those 
handlers because AFAICT, they're useful solutions which can be applied *right 
now*, without having to wait for Scott Raney to tweak the MetaCard engine (or 
the RunRev folks to tweak Rev). Naturally, it would be preferable for the 
engine itself to be intrinsically capable of dealing with case and 
diacriticals. But until that day...
