That's because that's not a reindexing issue. It's a capitalization
issue. Postgresql folds to lower case automatically. That is documented,
but much earlier in the documentation.

However, it's not covered in the reference documentation. Should such
things have a section in the reference manual? I.e. should I be able to
just read the reference docs and know this? I would think the reference
manual should have a section on SQL compliance / differences and things
like this. Not in the conversational tone of the User's Manual but in a
more technical documentation type format.

But how would that be organized? What would go in it?
