Yup.  I don't know what the best way for `read-regexp' to communicate
this back up to the caller, though.  Perhaps the easiest would be to
just add a new optional parameter to `read-regexp' that would make it
activate the `M-c' key binding, and then return a list that has both the
regexp we read and whether the user used a case twiddling command.

Callers like rgrep would have to be changed, but that's the case anyway.
