case sensitivity of the keys in an associative array

[Alex Tweedly]

Not quite.

It is dependent on the value of "casesensitive".

If you do

set the casesensitve to true

then the keys are different (i.e. Ddt  would NOT replace the existing 
value for ddt)

but if it is false (which it would be by default) thne DDt and ddt are 
teh same.

[Only tested on 10.0.0 DP4 - but I think that's how it's always been]
