I'd much rather introduce a new defconst which is then used to provide the default value of read-file-name-completion-ignore-case. BTW, a reliable test of file name equality is far from obvious. E.g. "/ssh:toto:/titi" is equal to "/ssh:TOTO:/titi" but whether "/ssh:toto:/titi" is not equal to "/ssh:toto:/TITI" if titi is a typical GNU/Linux machine. Stefan
