No lowercase with CQL when using create table

Hello,

I'm using CQL 3 to create column families within a keyspace with 
Cassandra 1.1.1. Column families are
created but all names (column families and their column definitions) are 
in lowercase. Is it possible to prevent
from this behavior?

Thanks very much for your help.
Thierry

Yes, you have to use double quotes in CQL3 to force the case of an
identifier (so CREATE TABLE "FooBar" rather than CREATE TABLE FooBar).
