How should case-sensitivity work in Org?  The documentation doesn't
specify.  From past messages, it looks like tags and todo keywords
are defined to be case-sensitive.  What about priorities, categories,
user-defined properties, regexp matching of entries, following of
links-to-headlines?  Other cases?

If there is an issue with a syntactic element being case-(in)sensitive
while (1) it should not and/or (2) docs suggests otherwise, then let's
tackle the problem.

Problem is, docs are cleverly silent on the issue :) So for one, it would be good if the docs specified it one way or the other at least
in the above cases.  But also in the code, case-fold-search is sometimes
explicitly set before testing regexps and sometimes isn't.  I started
fixing this, then realized that there is no spec for the right behavior.
So I thought I'd check with the list first.
