help-make-xrefs does not create a link on the text
`file-name-completion-ignore-case'. It does so for other such
variables, including `completion-ignore-case'.
emacs -Q
Eval this in *scratch*:
(defun foo ()
(with-current-buffer (help-buffer)
(help-mode-setup)
(insert "xxxxxxxxx\n\n")
(insert "`completion-ignore-case', `file-name-completion-ignore-case'\n"))
(help-make-xrefs (help-buffer)))
M-: (foo)
`completion-ignore-case' has a link;
`file-name-completion-ignore-case' does not.
This is because the call in help-make-xrefs to intern-soft with arg
"file-name-completion-ignore-case" returns nil.
In GNU Emacs 23.0.60.1 (i386-mingw-nt5.1.2600)
of 2008-05-04 on LENNART-69DE564
Windowing system distributor `Microsoft Corp.', version 5.1.2600

Is that simply because `file-name-completion-ignore-case' doesn't exist?

Sorry, I meant `read-file-name-completion-ignore-case'.
Same bug description, with that name correction. Thx.

I can't reproduce the bug here with that name correction using Emacs
"GNU Emacs 23.0.60.1 (i386-apple-darwin9.2.2, X toolkit) of 2008-05-26
on mini.local". Could you try the latest sources?

Good, maybe it was fixed. Or maybe the bug is platform-dependent. I reported it
for Windows.

No, I don't build Emacs. When I can get hold of a more recent Windows binary I
will check again. Or perhaps someone else can check on Windows now.
