I think related TODO is added for that gotcha which was written in
PQfnumber() comments in fe-exec.c: «Downcasing in the frontend might
follow different locale rules than downcasing in the backend.»

Returned column names from the backend were lowercased by the server
in this or that way. Furthermore, PQfnumber() makes not-quoted strings
downcasing on the client side and then performs the compare by using
the results returned from the backend. To sum up, at the moment I
couldn't see any possible solution for this TODO. (I'll be appreciated
to hear your suggestions on the case.) An un-fixable situation?
