MD headers links do not generate consistently with github

If I do this in MD:

## A Made-up Header

Marked 2 generates this "id" in the HTML: id="A-Made-up-Header".
Github generates this "id" in the HTML: id="a-made-up-header".

When editing text that will ultimately go into GitHub and other tools, this makes it hard to check links in Marked 2.

Can marked 2 be consistent with GitHub and Pandoc? They both lower case all the letters when forming the "id".

Thanks,

   Please confirm which processing option you're currently using, MMD or
   GFM?

   In Marked 2's Preference under "Processor" tab, I have the "Discount (GFM)" chosen. I assume "Discount (GFM)" is the same as GFM.

   Is that what you wanted me to check?

   Yep, that's what I was wondering. I thought I had set the GFM processor
   to lowercase IDs already, but if that's not the case I'll update it for
   the next release. In the meantime, I'm 90% certain that url fragments
   (hashes) aren't case sensitive anyway…

   HI Brett,

   That may be true. But when I click on my link that references the header in Marked 2, it doesn't bring me to that location on the same page until I matched the case.

   Fair enough, I'll take a look at that code again.
