It seems to me that the easiest way to make keywords and identifiers
case-insensitive is to change the default case in the main switch
in llex as follows:

      default: {
        ...
        else if (isalpha(ls->current) || ls->current == '_') {
          /* identifier or reserved word */
          TString *ts;
          do {
            save_and_next(ls);
          } while (isalnum(ls->current) || ls->current == '_');
>>> convert luaZ_buffer(ls->buff) to lower case here
          ts = luaX_newstring(ls, luaZ_buffer(ls->buff),
                                  luaZ_bufflen(ls->buff));
          ...
        }

This still leaves the problem of table indexing, which you have already done,
but perhaps this simplifies it a bit. I didn't try but I'd like to know...
