Is what case sensitive?  Function names are case sensitive.  Application
names have historically been not case sensitive.

You are declaring an extension line with a pattern but the pattern only has
literal characters so it really isn't a pattern.  It takes more CPU to match
than the non-pattern form and is more likely an error.
