Yes, I'll revert.

Also, given that there are case-folded hashes out there, I guess we're
stuck with them, and might as well use them for lookup.

But think of all the random path-based decisions that applications do,
and that ignorable characters basically invalidate - because people
can insert characters that "don't matter" and bypass all those checks.

It's a security nightmare.
