It would be a bug if it's true. As I said, I just looked quickly at the
code. I would have to verify actual behavior before drawing a final
conclusion.

In most cases the IGNORECASE flag is specified for the match which
accomplishes the same thing. I didn't see it here, but as I said, I'm
not that confident that case is not ignored.
