I too generally prefer case-sensitive completion. It's the same behaviour
as Unix and, perhaps I'm weird (no, make that "different"), but I almost
always know the case of my filenames. Even if I don't remember, I can hit
<TAB> before I type any characters and bash shows me the possible completions.
