Description

Today, query options in OData are case-sensitive (all lower case). I've personally seen (and at times experienced) getting tripped up by using the wrong casing of query options and getting unexpected results.

Certain programming languages and APIs have casing rules (InitialCaps, camelCase, lowercase, etc.) that they might want to be consistent across system-defined and custom query options.

Services should support system-defined query options regardless of casing.
