New-Object Hashtable makes properties case sensitive

Raising here as per reported at PoshCode/PowerShellPracticeAndStyle#60
and PowerShell/PowerShellGet#7

This is by design. You are calling the default constructor of a class in .Net. To do anything else would be incorrect.

If you want case-insensitive HashTable, pass an appropriate IHashCodeProvider and an appropriate IEqualityComparer. There is an overload available among the constructors.

I guess when you @{}, you get case-insensitive hash code provider and equality comparer.
