Details:
While find has options to ignore case on the linkname, name and regex options,
there is nothing that will allow it to ignore case for the starting path
options.
I don't understand why case ignore was provided on 3 of the name match options
(-name, -regex, -lname), but left off the 4th (starting name). Seems like a
gaping design hole to do it in in 75% of the name match options, but leave it
off the 4th.
The need to fix inconsistent user interface options, IMO, should have been a
high-priority item as soon as it was decided to implement that feature for the
other options.
However, given the rise in the use of linux servers for windows, it can only
be that its priority would be even higher now.
