- tie **%hash**, 'Hash::Case::Lower', \[$values,\] %options

  Define `%hash` to have only lower-cased keys.  The hash is initialized with the `$values`, specified as ARRAY (with key-value PAIRS) or HASH. Currently, there are no `%options` defined. Improves base, see "Constructors" in Hash::Case

### Hidden object access

Extends "Hidden object access" in Hash::Case.
