What about deprecating case-insensitive identifiers but keeping them
working. Wouldn't something like following work?
lookup case-sensitive identifier
if not found then
  lookup case-insensitive identifier
  if found then
     raise notice/warning and continue as usual
  else
     fall down and catch fire

That way correct usage should be fast and incorrect usage work. And the
case-insensitive fallback could be removed in PHP7 :)
