Please make the "Insert image" tool's extension-checker case-insensitive.
Could you please make the "Insert image" tool treat file extensions as case-insensitive when checking for validity?

When I post here on Meta, I frequently insert screenshots taken from MS Windows' Snipping Tool. For whatever reason, that tool defaults to naming files it saves as `Capture.PNG`. As a result, I frequently have a file called either `Capture.PNG` or something else `.PNG` that I want to insert into a post here. Unfortunately, the "Insert image" tool treats these files as invalid because its list of acceptable extensions includes `.png` but not `.PNG`.

I can fix this by simply renaming the file or remembering to save it as `*.png` in the first place, but it's a recurring annoyance. There would be just a little less friction in posting here if the extension-validity-checker was case-insensitive.
