Re: image.el doesn't associate image-mode with .JPG files

[Richard Stallman]

    Can you point to a single instance where doing a case-insensitve match 
    as a fallback would be harmful?

There are many patterns which are meant to apply to file names used
for specific conventional purposes in a GNU-like system, names
which are used with specific case patterns.  Here's one example.

     ("\\(/\\|\\`\\)\\.\\(bash_profile\\|z?login\\|bash_login\\|z?logout\\)\\'" 
. sh-mode)

The answer is no, and I've chosen a different solution.
Please drop the subject.
