Thanks Andreas. Much preferred!  I'm now doing something like this;

normalization.vcl
====

vcl 4.0;

import std;

sub vcl_recv {

   # normalize Host header
   set req.http.Host = std.tolower(regsub(req.http.Host, ":[0-9]+", ""));


   # URL MANIPULATIONS
   ###################

   # lowercase request URL
   set req.url = std.tolower(req.url);

   ....

}

Appears to be working well!
