It is not a matter of difficulty.  It's trivial.  The Spice 
format requires it to be non-case-sensitive.  "M" or "m" means 
milli.  "Meg" means mega.  "Mil" means to multiply by 25.4e-6 .

As it stands now, parameter names (.param) are case sensitive, 
because this is part of the migration to Verilog format, which 
is case sensitive, and uses M for mega and m for milli.  This 
will probably change, to case sensitive in Verilog mode, 
not-case-sensitive in Spice mode, because that is 
the "standard".
