## Problem
Currently so called "Nice URLs" are case-sensitive, i.e. tell apart **/nice_url** and **nice_URL**. Although [W3C standard](https://www.w3.org/TR/WD-html40-970708/htmlweb.html) states URLs being case-sensitive by default, it also allows URL parts not following the case sensitivity. Implementing the optional case insensitivity for Nice URLs may be a useful feature.

Research direction
The issue does not name implementation files, entry points, or tests. Trace the existing Nice URL handling and its tests first, then determine how optional case-insensitive matching should be configured and verified. Done means Nice URLs can match differing letter cases when enabled without changing default behavior.
