Case problem with menus

[David Kastrup]

This bug report will be sent to the Free Software Foundation,
not to your local site managers!
Please write in English if possible, because the Emacs maintainers
usually do not have translators to read other languages for them.

Your bug report will be posted to the address@hidden mailing list.

Please describe exactly what actions triggered the bug
and the precise symptoms of the bug:

The AUCTeX math menus contain a submenu "greek" as well as a submenu
"Greek".  When one tries clicking on subentries in the "greek" menu, a
message like

<menu-bar> <math> <greek> <α \alpha> is undefined

appears.  If one clicks C-h k "greek"/"gamma", one gets

<menu-bar> <math> <greek> <γ \gamma> runs the command LaTeX-math-Gamma
   which is an interactive Lisp function.
It is bound to ` G, <menu-bar> <math> <greek> <γ \gamma>.
(LaTeX-math-Gamma ARG)

Not documented.

This is a lie, since it actually is the menu
<menu-bar> <math> <Greek> <Γ \Gamma>
that runs this command.

It would appear that the match of the menu is made case insensitive,
and then the match of the menu entry itself is _also_ made case
insensitive.

Bad idea.
