Then perhaps, instead of downcasing the range, we should do the
comparison in a case-insensitive manner? Or is that impossible with
the current regex code?

As Miles wrote, it does make a perfect sense in a context of a
specific language. For example, if the characters that designate the
range are all Cyrillic characters, the range is sensible.
It would IMHO be a pity to lose the ability to specify ranges in such
cases.
