Subject: Enumerated string comparisons

Question for core developers: Should we modify the Enum string parser to try using case-independent or other fuzzy string comparisons if a string value doesn't match using the case-dependent comparison or after trying to convert the string to an integer? We could make the IOC dwim ("do what I mean", a Perl term) in the case below, but the result is a less precise database so I'm not sure if this is a good idea or not and how far we should take it.

field(OMSL, "CLOSED_LOOP")


Any idea what i am doing wrong ?
This is the last piece i am missing to get it running...



It is not "CLOSED_LOOP" but "closed_loop". You should see an error message when loading the record and a caget on the OMSL field should show that it is still "supervisory".
