This is all very strange. I only noticed the case sensitive change
recently. I had never experienced it before. I am willing to believe
that something else I had loaded made if case insensitive - possibly
ido? But when I dumped IDO in favour of Icicles I noticed the case
sensitive behaviour.

Anyway, I will leave it to you more experienced sorts to figure out the
best way. But, fwiw, I feel it's better to have case insensitive buffer
selection. It just seems quicker and more appropriate.
