Lowercase quoted identifiers only if they are all uppercase. So then:

No, I think the original proposal was better.  This one doesn't fix
things for the lusers who think "MixedCase" and unquoted MixedCase
should be the same.

What is bad about leaving pg_catalog all lower case and expect everyone to query the catalog quoted? We would be totally free as to the flexibility of the new option. One setting could even act 100% according to the standard ... a feature I'm missing so far in all the proposals.

Note to implementor: In 'SELECT 1 as "Title"', the quoted string should
not be lowercased, even if you are lowercasing everything else...

You don't get to have that, I think, because the lexer is not context
aware.  It's not clear to me why it's a good idea anyway.
