I chose '-g' since that letter was unused. It has no mnemonic value.

Thanks for implementing that. Other grep-like programs tend to use -I for this option, since it negates -i. Obviously we can't do that right now since -I means --binary-files=without-match to GNU grep. So I installed the attached, which takes the more-conservative approach of implementing just --no-ignore-case without any single-letter option. Perhaps in the future we could deprecate -I and then eventually repurpose it? But in the meantime this particular feature request is done, so I'm taking the liberty of closing the bug report.
