Yep - URIs are and have always been case sensitive.
Anybody mentioning 'case insensitive' and URI in the same sentence should be encouraged to fix his or her use case - putting such anti-patterns in a framework is at best misguiding others.

At the very list this may be can be done optionally, example, UriInfo can have getters for query and matrix param maps with a 'case-sensitive' flag
