Any objection to removing
(setq completion-ignore-case t)
from w32-fns.el now that fileio.c sets it to t inside read-file-name
on those systems?

completion-ignore-case is referenced in quite a few places, both in C
and Lisp code. Are you sure they all are taken care of by
read-file-name's binding?

I'm sure they are not.
But I think it is wrong for w32 to turn on completion-ignore-case for all
completions rather than only for file-name completion.
If we want completion-ignore-case to be on by default we should do that on
all platforms.
But maybe completion-ignore-case is misued at some places to test whether
the system's filenames are cas-sensitive or not. We should fix those.
