Dmitriy V. Ryaboy commented on PIG-2506:
----------------------------------------
Not if we want true case-insensitive matching (you don't want to define every
variation on LoWeR)
Here's some scary (:-)) reflection code for finding all classes on the
classpath..
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1456930/how-do-i-read-all-classes-from-a-java-package-in-the-classpath
We could execute something along those lines at the start and every time a jar
is registered, and do a case-insentive lookup in a generated Map. I assume
there's a cost associated with that..

> These builtins should respond to lowercase form as well. I am tired of

> L's and P's. I just don't want to write uppercase Pig anymore. I just can't
