Oops, dyslexia strikes again.  :case-sensitive-lower means that the Lisp
is case sensitive and all the standard symbols are lower case (as in
Franz Lisp and, more remotely, UNIX and C.).  :case-sensitive-upper
means that CAR is the function we all know and car is something else. 
Sorry.  The justification given in the Allegro CL documentation for the
existence of this mode is that it is the mode used by InterLisp.
