Note in passing that the downstream ipykernel tests are failing with anyio 4.4.0 but work with anyio 4.3.0. We see the same in the ipykernel repo, and I am looking into it there. |

This is something I missed as part of moving the backend resolution to Matplotlib. Since version 3.9.0 Matplotlib handles the case-sensitivity of backend names, making them all lowercase for internal use. But since matplotlib/matplotlib#28473 uppercase letters are allowed in backend names of the form
module://soMe_moDule.sOmE_NAme. Hence we need to not force backend names to be lowercase in IPython when passing them to Matplotlib. It is just a one line change that happens to make the code simpler, plus a new test.The Matplotlib change will be released in 3.9.1 which is due shortly, possibly today. The new test checks the Matplotlib version to know whether uppercase backend module names are allowed or not.
