Name highlights are not case-sensitive

[hashworks]

I have an IRC user that is named kraM. When someone writes kram (which is German for "stuff") the user is highlighted in my Matrix client (SchildiChat Desktop, an Element fork), confusing me:

User in Matrix:

Actual message:

Is this a client-thing or something heisenbridge does?

I think it's heisenbridge which converts a nick to a handle. You can check the PILLS command in the network admin room for more details.

There you could either disable it or add your nick to the ignore list. Setting it to case-sensitive isn't an option there (yet).

I guess that's the code: https://github.com/hifi/heisenbridge/blob/v1.14.5/heisenbridge/private_room.py#L538-L562 and yeah there's a .lower().

Hm, @hifi introduced the .lower() in 8d256ce. I wonder if it's a hard requirement
