[silly question] Are pad/pin names case-sensitive (and should they be)?

 

Hi,

I have design with a multi-row connector with pins labeled BGA-style
(a1, a2, etc.). I noticed the footprint for the same symbol in my
library has the pad names in uppercase (A1, A2) and so the netlister
doesn't connect these pins.

Is this the expected behaviour or should we make the pin/pad names
case-insensitive?

Cheers,
Tom
