I really don’t care enough to try and actually make converts here.  It
would have been a perfectly justifiable design choice to make our “pattern”
matching case-insensitive by default, probably with a case-sensitive mode
and no need to hack up quoting rules that are unique to it.  It’s a find
feature and search benefits from case-insensitivity.  There isn’t anything
so compelling about the current behavior that it seems like the superior
choice.  But maybe you are right and I just lack sufficient real-world
experience to see things differently.

I also get not wanting to change behavior at this point though I’d welcome
a modifier like “*” (like the ~* operator) to enable case-insensitive
matching.
