I don't think worrying about the message we send to users is
reasonable. We can take responsibilty for the messages we output but
punishing our users to teach them a lesson is being actively user-
hostile

As SQL is generally case insensitive, it is quite surprising to most
people that GUC units are not.
We have had this discussion before, I even submitted a patch to make
them case insensitive. In retrospect I was wrong to submit that
patch. SQL may be case insensitive but units are not. MB != Mb !=
mb , I don't think we should encourage in any way for users to do
the wrong thing.
