== Case Sensitivity ==

=== Case Sensitive ===

 * Things inside quotes (NB: strings passed from TFS world into MRS can be treated as case insensitive in MRS processing (i.e. as predicate symbols, but not `CARG`s)

=== Case Insensitive ===
 
 * Everything in TDL not inside of quotes.
 * Lexicon look-up.

 ... approach these with token-mapping (preserve the info, and then downcase anyway)

 * Orthographic subrules (agree: case sensitive, ACE: [intended] case insensitive)

Notes: Arguments for case insensitive include shouting (call caps); Arguments for case sensitive include the use of upper case vowels in vowel harmony languages (linguistic representations, not orthography)

== Doc Strings ==

TDL types allow a doc string:
{{{
