Would always use _generic for that type of thing myself. Avoids the need
for a separate function file:

zle -C case-sensitive complete-word _generic
zstyle ':completion:case-sensitive::::' completer _expand _complete _ignored
zstyle ':completion:*' matcher-list 'm:{a-z}={A-Z}'
zstyle ':completion:case-sensitive:*' matcher-list ''
bindkey '^XI' case-sensitive
