I do not understand this question. If you want case sensitivity, you need
to quote your identifiers. Unquoted identifiers are case insensitive.
I do not think the standard states what should happen when you start mixing
quoted and unquoted identifiers for the same object.

No. PostgreSQL stores them in all lower case (Informix also).

The unquoted identifier is converted to all lower case, no flag.
The quoted identifier is taken as is.
