DJ>     The help for query-replace-regexp just says: "Preserves case in each
DJ>     replacement if `case-replace' and `case-fold-search' are non-nil and
DJ>     REGEXP has no uppercase letters."

DJ>     Therefore, the user in a rush to replace a certain capital letter
DJ>     thinks: Oh great, I was hoping to match only "S" and not "s", but this
DJ>     possibility was apparently overlooked [by guess who].

RMS> I don't understand, sorry.  What is "this possibility"?
RMS> The way to match only S is to turn off case-fold-search.

Mainly the hurried user does describe-function query-replace-regexp,
and the only thing he sees semi-relevant to matching his S is that
sentence.  Therefore add a sentence there advertising case-replace's
merits.
