Re: address@hidden: Case-insensitive partial-completion bug]

[Richard Stallman]

The complaint was:

    I expected it to change "foo" to "Foo", because all possible
    completions begin with "Foo".  That's what it does if you don't enable
    partial-completion-mode.  But with partial-completion-mode enabled, it
    stays "foo" and Emacs displays the list of possible completions.

Michael Ernst wrote the patch which implemented this behavior.

Michael, why is it desirable for partial-completion mode to handle
this case differently from ordinary completion?
