This is a duplicate of the archived bug #203820. I am marking it as wishlist
only because it was decided to be a "feature" in that bug number.  All other
applications behave differently from bash, including all the other shells I
have tried.

LC_COLLATE causes bash to ignore the value of nocaseglob (which defaults to
off, meaning do case sensitive matching) when it is set to a locale such as
en_US (.anything).  I request that either 1) nocaseglob is made to work for
all locales, or 2) a new option is added to not use LC_COLLATE, or to specify
another value for collation, during globbing.
