It's now in the `compwid' part of the docs (even with this example;
see? sometimes I *can* imagine what people would like to know ;-)...

If your zsh is at least approximately up-to-date, you should use:

  compmatchers=('m:{a-z}={A-Z}')

to get the one-way case-insensitiveness everywhere, or

  compmatchers=('m:{a-zA-Z}={A-Za-z}')

for both ways. If that doesn't work for you, you have to use `compctl -M'
with those strings as arguments.

3.1.6 case-insensitive completion

[Bruce Stephens]

How do I enable case-insensitive completion again?  I'm sure I used to
have it, once, but I don't seem to get it now.  

For example, in a directory containing only the file README, I'd want
"vi read<TAB>" to complete to "vi README".  But it doesn't.

Actually, maybe I'm confusing it with approximate matching, which
often feels similar.  (i.e., "vi Rea<TAB>" does expand to "vi README",
so possibly I'm just confused.)
