Making expressions case insensitive

[priedthirdeye]

I'd like to make it so expressions are not case sensitive.

For example, the following data:

var context = {title: "My New Post"};
var html    = template(context);

would support both:

{{title}} 

and 

{{Title}}

I looked through the source code and can't see where I would make such a change. I understand there may be some performance impact, but this would really help for my use case.

To be more clear....

I just want to get an idea of where in the source code I would make such a change.

This doesn't sound ideal. It'll probably be easier for you to handle it from your object instead of have a breaking change like this request handle it.

I wouldn't accept this as change to the library either, but I found this function in the compiler api, which indicates that it is possible to change this behaviour without changing Handlebars itself.

I have updated the compiler-api example.

It does not solve your exact issue (it only performs lookups in lower-case, not case-insensitive), but it is a starting point. I believe you can find out the remaining parts by yourself.

However, looking at this Stackoverflow post, I believe implementing case-insensitive lookups will be a rather large performance impact (not just some).

What I describe in the example will probably reduce performance as well.
