- On systems with case-insensitive file names, such as Microsoft
-Windows, Emacs performs a single case-insensitive search through
-@code{auto-mode-alist}. On other systems, Emacs normally performs a
-single case-sensitive search through the alist. However, if you
-change the variable @code{auto-mode-case-fold} to @code{t}, Emacs
-performs a second case-insensitive search if the first search fails.
