Case insensitive symbols should be supported (originally written for Fortran)
since:
	commit 5b7743a275e4610fe6ea57f0c61e317490ee6854
	Date:   Wed Apr 27 20:03:03 2011 +0000
		Case insensitive lookups implementation.
(+about one fallout later)

While f_language_defn has case_sensitive_off
I see that pascal_language_defn has case_sensitive_on.

At https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pascal_%28programming_language%29#Hello_world
I read
	Letter case is ignored in Pascal source.
so I think pascal_language_defn really should use case_sensitive_off.
