I am beeing disturbed by this sentence in the docstring for `string-match':
Case is ignored if `case-fold-search' is non-nil in the current buffer.
Is this really true?

I hope so, otherwise how could you specify that the match must be
case-sensitive or case-insensitive? Now it can be done by let-
binding case-fold-search.

Thanks, but there is still something I do not understand. Why is "the
current buffer" mentioned? I thought that maybe it could not be let-bound.

Because case-fold-search is buffer-local.

I changed it to say
Matching ignores case `case-fold-search' is non-nil.
which is equally true, but less confusing.
