Why so complicated - why not just let-bind case-fold search in the
functions that need it?

It seems ugly to (ab)use the variable `inc' in this way. If you do
want to do it this way, wouldn't it be nicer to use something like:

(defun octave-re-search-forward (regexp &optional bound noerror count)
  "Like `re-search-forward', but sets `case-fold-search' nil."
  (let (case-fold-search)
     (re-search-forward regexp bound noerror count)))
