I've seen people write hash functions which change the input to all lower or upper case first. I think it's a pointless, stupid idea– maybe unless it's a VERY low-risk system for people with cognitive disabilities, kids or seniors– but not necessarily unhashed-password-level stupid.

facebook logins work this way (sort of). they account for flipped case (caps lock on) and for passwords that accidentally have the first letter capitalized.
