Is the above about aligning $3/$4 across checks of different types (i.e. purely cosmetic)? I am not complaining; just making sure if there is nothing deeper going on.

It is outside the scope of this change, but the shell style of this script (most notably use of [] instead of test) needs to be fixed someday, preferrably soon, including the commented out else clause at the end of the hunk.

Do we want "# Case-insensitivity features" commment here as well?

Hmm, this looks somewhat strange.
 * At the beginning of the outermost "per characters in the text"
   loop, we seem to downcase t_ch when WM_CASEFOLD is set.
 * Also at the same place, we also seem to downcase p_ch under the
   same condition.
which makes me wonder why the fix is not like this:
	+	if (flags & WM_CASEFOLD) {
        +		if (ISUPPER(p_ch))
        +			p_ch = tolower(p_ch);
        +		if (prev_ch && ISUPPER(prev_ch))
        +			prev_ch = tolower(prev_ch);
	+	}
		if (t_ch <= p_ch && t_ch >= prev_ch)
			matched = 1;
		p_ch = 0; /* This sets "prev_ch" to 0 */

Ahh, OK, the "seemingly strange" construct is about handling a range like "[Z-y]"; we do not want to upcase or downcase the p_ch/prev_ch make the range "[z-y]" (empty) which would exclude bytes like "^", "_" or even "Z".

And it is also OK to downcase p_ch in a single-letter case, not the characters in a range, at the beginning of the outermost loop, because we always compare for equality against t_ch (which is downcased) in that case.

This also looks somewhat strange but correct in that t_ch is already downcased so we do not need a corresponding change for CC_EQ("lower") codepath.

Interesting.  Will apply.
Thanks.
