Documentation

Non-nil means to try second pass through auto-mode-alist.

This means that if the first case-sensitive search through the alist fails to find a matching major mode, a second case-insensitive search is made. On systems with case-insensitive file names, this variable is ignored, since only a single case-insensitive search through the alist is made.

This variable was added, or its default value changed, in Emacs 22.1.

Probably introduced at or before Emacs version 22.1.
