I didn't.
I use it when I need case sensitivity which turns out to be quite
frequent.
I'm finding it increasingly rare when people want "abc" to be the same
as "ABC" but maybe that's just my clientele

My ElfData plugin does the same thing. It's also somewhere between 10 and 30x faster than RB's dictionary. I think the case sensitive hash map is slower than RB's dictionary.

It probably is; I used a very simple implementation of a hash table. As for your plugin, it's not comparable to the Rb Dictionary.
