Question: small issue in Physics:-Latex, translation of complex number I

Question:small issue in Physics:-Latex, translation of complex number I

As I was going over latest build using Physics:-Latex I noticed this.

The complex number I should be translated to lower case i  in latex.

This is what the original latex() does (and also what Mathematica TeXForm does).

It does not look good at all to have complex number I be translated to I and remain UPPER case I

Here is an example

expr:=[solve(x^2+2*x+2=0,x)];
Physics:-Latex(expr)

gives

[-1+I, -1-I]

While  latex(expr) gives the much better and more mathematical output:

[-1+i,-1-i]

Is it possible to have Physics:-Latex translate complex numbers like latex() did?
