Interesting! When do you think that this branch would be merged in
master? Still interested in my patch in the meantime? I guess that
the new tests would be useful in any case.
Last version in attachment. There was already a test for "info sysq",
I've added "info T" and "info TERMINA".

[RFA] candidates for ambiguous command in upper case
If you type an ambiguous command in lower case, gdb tells the command
is ambiguous and tells you which one could match. If you type the same
but in upper case, gdb also says it is ambiguous, but shows an empty
list of commands:
(gdb) ex
Ambiguous command "ex": exec-file, expression.
(gdb) EX
Ambiguous command "EX": .
The same issue with completion.
(gdb) inf<tab><tab>
shows "inferior info", but
(gdb) INF<tab><tab>
shows nothing.
Simple fix in attachment, with an additional test.
Tested on x86-linux. OK to apply?
gdb/ChangeLog:
* cli-decode.c (lookup_cmd): case insensitive match when looking
up candidates for ambiguous command.
(complete_on_cmdlist): Ditto.
gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
* gdb.base/completion.exp: Add tests for completion of upper case
commands.
