Do you think `grep-compute-defaults' should add '-i', i.e., ignore case, in the default `grep-command' when `case-fold-search' is non-nil?No. Just because you might want to search the current buffer case-(in)sensitively, that in no way implies that you want to search a set of files somewhere the same way. `grep' is an external command. It is not about acting (e.g., searching) buffers within Emacs.
Ok, let me change my question. Should `grep' family of commands in Emacs pass '-i' as default, regardless of the `case-fold-search' value in current buffer, if the user didn't customize `grep-command'?
