I would make the minicli case sensitive, and skip toggling sensitiveness. I 
think this is a very rarely used feature, and yet another applet is saved at 
the cost of not being able to do case insensitive comparisons. Of course, 
they can always look at it, and let's hope they don't have to do that too 
often.. But that's just my opinion.
