Hi,

Why is it that bookmarks in Emacs behave not case sensitive?

When I start Emacs 24.2.1 (GTK+ Version 2.24.10) on my Kubuntu 12.4 box 
with -q and bookmark a file a.txt with a bookmark named aka and after 
that another file A.txt with a bookmark named AKA, the result are not 
two bookmarks aka (pointing to a.txt) and AKA (pointing to A.txt) as I 
would have expected but a single bookmark aka pointing to A.txt.

Is this intended or am I missing something?

Chris

M-x customize-group RET bookmark RET

(search for the word `case')

Thank you.
Just for completion: The relevant variable is

bookmark-completion-ignore-case

which is set to true by default.
