Renaming a table should honor case changes

ArcGIS Pro 3.0.3; mobile geodatabase:

In Catalog, if I attempt to rename a table from table_a to TABLE_A, the renaming has no effect; the name remains as table_a. I think that happens because ArcGIS Pro treats table_a as being the same as TABLE_A when renaming tables.

I find that behavior annoying. Table names in geodatabases/Catalog are case-sensitive, so I think renaming should be case-sensitive too.

I'm aware that it's not possible to have two separate tables with the names table_a and TABLE_A. But I don't think that affects this idea.

And I'm aware that I can work around the issue by changing the name to something entirely different such as table_a_ (note the trailing underscore), and then changie that name to TABLE_A. But I don't think that should be necessary. I should be able to rename the table using a different case without needing that extra step.

Could that behavior be changed in ArcGIS Pro?

Thanks.
