I realized that only fixes the problem of creating a list with an
upper/mixed case name where the lower case name already exists.

We still need to make sure that we only create lists with lower case
names in the first place. The API which is the Create() method needs
to enforce this. So, I'm inclined to lower-case the name provided to
Create(), but also lower-case the name provided to Utils.list_exists().
