+Make globbing (filename generation) sensitive to case.  Note that other
+uses of patterns are always sensitive to case.  If the option is unset,
+the presence of any character which is special to filename generation
+will cause case-insensitive matching.  For example, tt(cvs(/)) can
+match the directory tt(CVS) owing to the presence of the globbing flag
+(unless the option tt(BARE_GLOB_QUAL) is unset).
