We have people here who like to name their C variables with mixed case,
e.g., windowId instead of window_id or wid. The X windows interface
functions are also mixed case. Furthermore, we strongly encourage our people
to capitalize the first letter of globals. The people who wrote the Proximity
dictionary utilities also share that practice.

Therefore, if I am looking for a variable, if I set ignorecase, I don't have
to remember what case it was typed in with. (Let's see is it windowId,
WindowID, or ...) Very helpful when looking at other peoples' code.
