> So how would one do case-insensitve stemming?

Assuming that

lowercase(AB) = ab
lowercase(Ab) = ab
lowercase(aB) = ab
lowercase(ab) = ab

one would ensure that if the implementation's stemming algorithm was such that

stem(AB) = AB

then 

stem(Ab) = Ab
stem(aB) = aB
stem(ab) = ab

Thus when the case option is case-insensitive, applying the case option to the
stem would always return 'ab' for each of AB, Ab, aB and ab.
