In vim regexp, `\c' means "ignore case diffs from here" and `\C' means
"consider case diffs from here".  Thus, `\chello\CWorld' matches
"HeLloWorld" but does not match "helloWoRLd".  In GNU Emacs, this
regexp should be `[hH][eE][lL][lL][oO]World', which is a little bit
ugly and not very convenient in some cases.
