But, why would you want a "case-insensitive" source compare in the first place?

The whole idea of a "source compare" is to detect differences, and if the CASE of some data on some source lines is "different" between the two versions you are comparing, then somebody has changed something... and you probably want to know this.

I see it now "Ignore Case" must lowercase everything.

In my opinion, it shouldn't. The comparison should be able to be done
