Old code comment: "NB: HN usernames are cAsE SensiTivE"
In 10+ year old code I saw this comment that said HN usernames are case sensitive. It doesn't look like this is true anymore, thankfully. Can anyone confirm?

Both lead to your profile. I suspect if they were case sensitive this wouldn’t be the case.
I used to be unable to log in unless I entered my username with a capital L.
I just tried with a lowercase L and it worked.
