He would not care, because he wants case sensitivity, with only an
exception for standard words, and these are ASCII-only.

Forth-2012 says in A.18:

|Many Forth systems today are case insensitive, to accept lower case
|standard words. It is sufficient to be case insensitive for the ASCII
|subset to make this work [...]

My recommendation is for the dictionary search to be case insensitive
for ASCII chars (that's common practice) and case sensitive for
anything else.  That way you will not get spurious matches if the
encoding of the code is different from the encoding of the system;
also case insensitive matching for some non-ASCII characters is
complex.
