I would say it's a tempest in a teapot.

What I think we should do is accept "kb" and the rest case-insensitively,
print them all in all-upper-case always, and tell standards pedants
to get lost.  The idea of introducing either a GUC or new function names
is just silly; it will cause far more confusion and user code breakage
than will result from just leaving well enough alone.
