@vindex auto-mode-case-fold
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.
On GNU/Linux and other systems with case-sensitive file names, Emacs
performs a case-sensitive search through @code{auto-mode-alist}; if
this search fails, it performs a second case-insensitive search
through the alist. To suppress the second search, change the variable
@code{auto-mode-case-fold} to @code{nil}. On systems with
case-insensitive file names, such as Microsoft Windows, Emacs performs
a single case-insensitive search through @code{auto-mode-alist}.
