I noticed that while AppleScript generally deals with strings in a non-
case-sensitive way (unless specifically instructed to consider case) this
is not what happens when AppleScript's text item delimiters are set to a
string. In that event, case is always considered, even, it seems, when
'ignoring case' is invoked.
Is this apparent inconsistency a recent thing? I would be interested to
know if there's a technical reason for handling case differently when
setting TIDs, what with case having increased significance in Unix based
systems...
(See my recent response to the message 'Newbie. How do I count "i"?' for
an example)
