I'm experiencing something different (or maybe that's expected?), when 
trying to create groups across different stems with different case 
naming. My API's grouper.loader looks like this:
hooks.group.class = 
edu.internet2.middleware.grouper.hooks.examples.GroupUniqueNameCaseInsensitiveHook,edu.internet2.middleware.grouper.hooks.examples.GroupUniqueExtensionHook

- First, a group is created:
gsh 1% addGroup("teststem:substem1","testgroup1","testgroup1") ;

- attempting to add a group named "testgroup1" in substem2 is not allowed as 
expected
gsh 2% addGroup("teststem:substem2","testgroup1","testgroup1");
// Error: unable to evaluate command: Sourced file: inline evaluation of: 
``addGroup("teststem:substem2","testgroup1","testgroup1");'' : Error invoking 
compiled command: : Error in compiled command: 
edu.internet2.middleware.grouper.hooks.logic.HookVeto: 
veto.group.unique.extension: The group ID is already in use, please use a 
different ID

- attempting to add a group named "TESTGROUP1" in substem1 is also not 
allowed. That is great.
gsh 3% addGroup("teststem:substem1","TESTGROUP1","TESTGROUP1");
// Error: unable to evaluate command: Sourced file: inline evaluation of: 
``addGroup("teststem:substem1","TESTGROUP1","TESTGROUP1");'' : Error invoking 
compiled command: : Error in compiled command: 
edu.internet2.middleware.grouper.hooks.logic.HookVeto: 
veto.group.unique.nameCaseInsensitive: The group ID is already in use, please 
use a different ID

- But, attempting to add a group named "TESTGROUP1" in substem2 is allowed
gsh 4% addGroup("teststem:substem2","TESTGROUP1","TESTGROUP1");
group: name='teststem:substem2:TESTGROUP1' 
displayName='teststem:substem2:TESTGROUP1' 
uuid='9fe717125819401bbe808a6e88decb52'

gsh 5% getGroups("substem");
group: name='teststem:substem1:testgroup1' 
displayName='teststem:substem1:testgroup1' 
uuid='87da692b7c0d4bfc994367b4e4e3eb6d'
group: name='teststem:substem2:TESTGROUP1' 
displayName='teststem:substem2:TESTGROUP1' 
uuid='9fe717125819401bbe808a6e88decb52'

Unless I'm missing something, it would be great if the case 
insensitivity worked across stems. Our use case is that we are creating 
groups via Grouper in Active Directory. Group names, or object names in 
general, are unique there. We can concentrate on developing a custom 
hook to check against our subject names and other non-group objects if 
the group name uniqueness is handled by the built-in hooks.

Thanks,
