alias -s {t,T}{x,X}{t,T}='geany'

... can that be avoided?  It would be cool to have case insensitive 
suffix aliases.  I'm having to add a few, and it sure is a bother to use 
the above to capture all the variations.  Like with images one sees: 
.jpg, .JPG, and sometimes .Jpg.

I believe "setopt nocaseglob" will handle that, but otherwise no.

I read about that on the internet.  Tried it, but no luck.  Maybe one of 
those things that depends on a particular set of options at the same 
time?  Anyway, IMHO it would be a very nice little feature.  I'd guess 
easy enough to code.  Honestly tho 99% of the time a capitalized and a 
lower case version are sufficient but it looks rather redundant.
