routeRules are case sensitive

Likewise, routeRules are case sensitive. In your example, requesting /Support-Me will not redirect either. However, URIs should be case insensitive.

Let me know if this needs a separate issue. I figure it's so closely related it might make sense to tackle them together. Vue-Router addresses them together in the documentation.

According to both RFC 3986 / WHATWG standards, URL path is case sensitive by default, which means /path and /Path are different.

We can introduce a new sensitive: false route rule meta but it also means we need to add extra runtime overhead for checking incoming URL against route rules twice + we diverge from Web standards.

This issue may not be entirely related, but this definitely seems to be an ongoing and divisive conversation across the ecosystem:
vuejs/vue-router#1214

That being said, I can definitely understand any hesitancy since this would add runtime overhead.
