Why "it must"? You need it to be lower-case? Or parsing does not work if it is not lower-case?

Maybe I did not understand correctly what you want...
I thought you wanted to recognize
  BuyOrSell something
  buyORsell something

using a single rule, say
  buy : [ [ "buyOrSell"; ... ] ]

If that is the case, I think my solution works.
You might even do that:
  buy : [ [ "buy_or_sell"; ... ] ]

and at lexing time do
  if String.lowercase s = "buyorsell" then
    IDENT "buy_or_sell"
  else
    IDENT s

In this case it is more than a matter of case, but the argument is still valid: I have declared a rule with "buy_or_sell", so the rule will be taken when a "buy_or_sell" keyword is found, and the lexer produces "buy_or_sell" identifiers from anything that matches case-insensitively "BuyOrSell".
