Case Sensitivity

There seems to be a disagreement between various sources as to whether G-Code is case senstiive. According to RS274/NGC Interpreter - Version 3, page 23:

"Input is case insensitive, except in comments, i.e., any letter outside a comment may be in upper or lower case without changing the meaning of a line."
