Public bug reported:
The command /usr/bin/look prints only words that begin with an upper-
case letter, even if the search string begins with a lower-case letter.
$ look big
BigQuery
BigQuery's
Bigfoot
Bigfoot's
Biggles
Biggles's
This is incorrect behavior. "look" should also print words like big,
bigger, biggest.
$ grep '^big' /usr/share/dict/wordsbig
bigamist
bigamist's
bigamists
bigamous
...
Adding the -f option does not change the behavior.
Bug reproduced on two different Ubuntu 22.04 systems.
