But for some reason that still escapes me, Richard is strongly opposed to activating it by default. Because it is too drastic for the actual problem, and likely to often be wrong. If a certain file name extension is normally used in different case patterns, let's make its element in auto-mode-alist match them all. That is not drastic, and it does the job.
