Re: "ls command" Suggest --ignore case switch for wildcards, regex use.

[asymptosis]

I'm not a coreutils developer, so I don't have any comment on whether this is a 
good idea for `ls`. I just wanted to point out that you can probably accomplish 
what you want with `find`. Maybe something like this:

find -maxdepth 1 -type f -iregex "<pattern>" -exec ls {} +

(Or maybe "-iname", depending on what you're trying to match.)
