My bad; I mistakenly thought that was not the case.
I used to use Emacs on UNIX a lot, and I still use it sometimes on GNU/Linux,
but I forgot and didn't notice, respectively.
The behavior change I noted was for Windows.
> Why should it be any different on windows?
No good reason that I'm aware of.
It would be good to give users on all platforms an easy way to control the
behavior. E.g. a user option for buffer-name completion case sensitivity.
