Pipe names are case sensitive.

The useful fields are RootDirectory, ObjectName, Attributes (for the 
OBJ_INHERIT and OBJ_CASE_INSENSITIVE flags) and SecurityDescriptor. 
These are handled individually by server calls that use them, or not at 
all in some cases (for example the RootDirectory and 
OBJ_CASE_INSENSITIVE flag). Also, all of these should by handled by the 
create_object or find_object call on the server side, so it makes sense 
to keep them together.

Testing on Windows shows that case insensitive lookups use the last 
added object with that name. For example:
Create event with name "Test"
Create mutex with name "test"
Open event with case insensitive name "TEst" -> fails with 
STATUS_OBJECT_TYPE_MISMATCH
Open mutex with case insensitive name "TEst" -> succeeds
