Is C# really case insensitive about variable names and keywords like
'public', 'protected', ...?

A test with this on some test C# files I have lying around shows that it
also matches e.g. 'class', 'void', 'this', ...
This is definitely not something we want in the autocompletion.

Every string you see in the output window (except the empty lines) are
added to the autocompletion.
And no, we won't change those matches. I mean we're using regexes here
so we don't have to do that.

It's just a test tool!

But I've just uploaded a new version of it which doesn't print the empty
lines anymore.
