Like read-regexp-last-case-fold-setting or something?  I guess that's
possible, but it feels rather hacky...

We could add an extra parameter that would make read-regexp alter
`case-fold-search', and then callers (that used that parameter) would
have to bind case-fold-search around the call, but that feels like it
could be very error-prone.
