To be specific: your complaint is that the system generated index name
(since you didn't provide a name of your own) does not respect the
capitalization of the table name upon which it is being created.
My guess is that the name of the table is normalized in some form in order
to make the index name less complicated - say if the table name has special
characters or embedded spaces.
Your complaint is likely better categorized as a feature request or just an
implementation detail you can live with or avoid by providing your own index
name. I haven't dug into this at all to make a better determination.
