But Emacs is inconsistent in how
non-letters in REGEXP are treated.
BTW, this inconsistency was not present in Emacs 19.34.
What people expect in case propagation is inconsistent; it depends on
semantics that only an AI could understand. So there is no chance
we could make this always work.
Consistent implementations tend to be wrong very often. I made
changes in order to produce results that people expect in more cases.
(Sorry I don't remember which cases--it was too long ago.)
