The MySQL treatment of enums is generally quite reprehensible. The
proposed patch by contrast fits quite well into our existing type
system, I think. MySQL users migrating will have a bit of work to do.
I don't think their experience has much to teach us (except how not to
do enums). We should decide on case sensitivity without having reference
to it.
