 QgsVectorFileWriter allows to create case sensitive fields like 'foo' and
 'FOO' in one table, but values of both attributes are written to the first
 case-insensitively-found field:

 1. Create a new layer with two attributes like 'foo' and 'Foo' and add
 some features
 2. Save it as a new layer: menu Layer -> Save as shapefile
 3. The new layer's table contains corrupted data

 It also doesn't respect the field width - see also #1664
