[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #41691] pkg does not support packages with upper case characters in their name

[Carnë Draug]

Follow-up Comment #5, bug #41691 (project octave):

I just got bitten by this issue.  The issue is that a package name is allowed
to have mixed case, but Octave changes its case silently behind the scenes. 
The end result is that you install a package that has one case but then need
to use another for loading.

The two simplest fixes would be to either refuse to install a package without
an all lowercase name, or to also lowercase the package name silently during
pkg load.

However, I still have mixed feelings about changing its case internally.
