Ingo,

I'm merging your other comments, but this gives me pause.  The `-i' 
flips on case insensitivity: following exprcomp() into exprterm(), the 
"cs" (case-sensitive) field is 1 by default (or 0 if `-i' is specified). 
  Then in exprmark(), "cs" is acted upon with strstr() if 1, 
strcasestr() if 0.  This behaviour may have changed from the original 
version, so let's nip it if that's so.

However, the current behaviour seems consistent to me: if we want "-i" 
to mean case-insensitive, it should mean that for the following term, 
whether `~' or `=', with the opposite (sensitivity) being the default. 
No?  It seems confusing to have an `-i' but have `=' be insensitive.

Thanks again,

Kristaps
