Binary Comparisons in the DB?

Hi guys,

I've got a suggestion. Would it be too much trouble to switch the SQL database so it uses binary mode rather than text mode for comparisons? In binary mode, HELLO (all caps) is not the same as HeLlO (every other letter capitalized). This could potentially be useful, say, for username changes. Right now, variations in case for usernames are considered to be the same username when, technically, they are not. This would then open up a whole lot more usernames. Thoughts?
