Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/DavidAnson/markdownlint/issues/605

Since this has come up in a few separate issues, I thought I'd write down a proposal.

# Title

[Good, "lowerCase": true](#title)

[Good, "lowerCase": false](#Title)

An alternate take to this, would be to have the rule fix the anchor if it matches, but the case doesn't

There may be another way to name the option, like anyCase, which would still likely just lower it for comparison.

I don't think it's necessary to add an option here since the rule currently implements the GitHub algorithm which uses lowercase all the time. However, the suggestion to provide a fix for cases where an existing label with different case is present seems good.

If there is no extra option, there may just need to be a separate error message so those folks that ran into the casing issue but see that existing one works, understand the failure better
