Hello,
Suppose I have a file named foo-bar.adb containing:
package Foo.Bar is
end Foo.Bar;
and this has been tagged with etags, which is the backend in use for
xref.
Now:
(a)
M-. foo.bar/b => jumps to foo-bar.adb line 1, "package Foo.Bar is".
but
(b)
M-. foo.bar <TAB> => "no match"
In (a), xref-find-definition took whatever my input was and honored
case-fold-search, which is t, to find the definition of the package.
But when I type <TAB> asking for possible completions,
xref--read-identifier
is case-sensitive whether I like it or not. Indeed:
(c)
M-. Foo.Bar <TAB> => produces the desired completion Foo.Bar/b
The inconsistency between (a) and (b) is anti-ergonomic.
I looked for a variable, separate from case-fold-search, that would
control the case sensitivity of completion in this case, but I couldn't
find one.
