I'm confused wrt what you are saying here. Your original report
seemed to be about read-buffer-completion-ignore-case not working as
expected with non-ASCII buffer names. Are you now saying that the
problem is actually with read-file-name-completion-ignore-case
instead? Or are you saying something else?
(May I suggest in the future to state explicitly the conclusion(s)
from the evidence you present, so as to make the communications more
efficient? TIA)
