Description
#17958 and #17975 shows how our current environment variable support suffers because it cannot deal with case sensitive values. The only current way to deal with these is by using the SPRING_APPLICATION_JSON variable.
It would be nice if we could find a way to support case sensitive key names.

The goal is to determine and implement a way to support case-sensitive key names without requiring SPRING_APPLICATION_JSON, but the issue does not name specific files or tests.
