matchbufline and ignorecase/smartcase

Hello,

I'm using 64-bit GVim 9.1 patches 1-95 on Windows 10.

Is it possible to have matchbufline() observe 'ignorecase' and 'smartcase'? Currently, if I have 'ignorecase' and 'smartcase' set, it behaves as if only 'ignorecase' were on and gives me results that regular search, for example, don't:

Search for 'Unknown' where the file contains:

unknown
Unknown
UNKNOWN

Searching via n/N only finds the middle one (smartcase forces case matching) while matchbufline() matches all three.

I COULD, of course, stick a \c or \C in front of my pattern based on whether the pattern contains an upper-case character, but I'd rather find out whether there is a plan to make matchbufline() observer smartcase before I put in the workaround.

Thank you,
