Hatari debugger doesn't do anything like that.

Does "OPT X+" instead of, or in addition to "OPT D+",
fix the symbol table your linker generates?

Use TAB completion.  Symbol name TAB-completion *is* case-insensitive,
and it completes the name to correct case.

Note that symbol name matching (done after you press enter)
itself must be case-sensitive, because e.g. C language is case
sensitive ("foobar" and "FOOBAR" are different symbols).
