Also I would like to add that some programming languages, notably Ada
and Pascal, are case-insensitive; in these languages, "being as exact as
possible" implies respecting this case-inensitivity.  This is why I
think it would be a good idea to make the case sensitivity
user-controllable (not mode-controllable, as you may want to look for an
Ada subprogram from a buffer visiting e.g. a shell script).
