That makes sense. I guess that means that case-insensitive ignores
requires a "new" interface in the 1.x versions. Something like a new
conf variable under [miscellany], called
"global-ignores-case-insensitive" would be useful.
    I would just hope that all the developers could keep that
principle in mind in their future 2.0 work. Interface defaults should
always start with majority human assumptions, regardless of platform,
or other technical details.
