Re: completion-ignore-case: documentation bug

[jbyler+emacs-lists]

I'd like to second the suggestion that the documentation for
completion-ignore-case include a mention of the new variable
read-file-name-completion-ignore-case.  I was all set to submit a bug
report on completion-ignore-case being broken for file name completion
(tested my reference build of CVS emacs from 5/25/03 to verify that it
"used to work") but found Alex's message before I sent it.

Thanks,
Jesse Byler
