This isn't quite what Shawn was talking about.

Basically, (1) when the user does not go out of their way to specify
case (i.e., they type in lowercase), the matching is case-insensitive.
But, (2) when the user /does/ capitalize something, it almost
certainly means they care about case, so make matching case-sensitive.

This is the "smartcase" option in vim, and it appears to be the
default in Emacs.
