(info "(emacs) Fixing Case") contains a hyperlink to
(info "(emacs) Case") but the latter is missing a vital hyperlink to the former!!
I'm saying if we are reading the latter, we would feel sad if we found out one day we didn't know about the former.

OK, I added some stuff from "Fix Case" to "case", and I'm therefore
closing this bug.
