Dedup case insensitive?

When searching in our list of usernames that have logged in, I dedup the usernames but the results are case sensitive.
For example I have user01 and User01 both showing in the search results.

How do I make the dedup case insensitive so that it will only show one of these results?

As far as I can see in the search reference for the dedup command, it has no way to make it case insensitive, so the only solution I see is before doing a dedup on username, change it to lowercase:

| eval username=lower(username)
