So you're saying that
a) Emacs is deferring to Bash to do the completion in this case; and
b) bash is not ignoring case?
I find both of those hard to believe -- particularly since if I type "cd
doc" at a shell prompt that's not inside emacs, but is in a Terminal.app,
it does what I want (namely: completes to "cd Documents").
If a) is in fact correct, then I suppose Emacs is somehow starting the
shell differently than Terminal.app is.
