Right now, Tramp uses `echo foo*' to find completions for foo. If we
want completions to be case-insensitive, we have the following
options:
(1) Always retrieve the whole directory contents.
This might be slow in large directories.
(2) Say `echo [fF][oO][oO]*' instead.
Here, it is not

What is the motivation for wanting to do case-insensitive filename
completions? I suppose this might be nice for computers with case-insensitive
file systems (Windows, Mac OS HFS+), but it's certainly not a desirable
feature for most Unix pla

Please, don't. I am rather fond of my Unix behaviour. Making it case
insensitive would break my expectations and cause tro
