Re: [RFA] candidates for ambiguous command in upper case

IMO, there is nothing wrong.  There is no command starts from "EX".

This is a bit weird to accept upper-case EXEC-FIL then... isn't it?

(gdb) exec-fil
No executable file now.
(gdb) EXEC-FIL
No executable file now.

I agree that if GDB accepts commands in upper case, the ambiguous command message should work accordingly. The message as it is, with an empty list, doesn't make sense.

I also noticed that tab completion was case sensitive, should that be fixed as well?

For example,

  (gdb) inf<tab><tab>

shows "inferior  info", but

  (gdb) INF<tab><tab>

shows nothing.  Should it show "inferior  info", or "INFERIOR INFO"?
