As for as I know, they're both supposed to be case insensitive. I also can't
seem to find anything in the asterisk docs that says one way or another.
But http://www.voip-info.org/wiki/view/Asterisk+variables states so, so
maybe that's where I heard it. I'm pretty sure there exist dialplans that
will break if you change it to be case sensitive.
