I wouldn't myself; it was just I saw somebody asked if -G can be used to
do case insensitive and then I realized we do not even support such in the
diff machinery to begin with, but now this opens a way to do so by copying
the xdl options when the pickaxe-grep codepath runs a subdiff.

You can update the hash and recmatch to be locale-aware, which would be an
internal update to xdiff/ directory that is independent of the rest of the
series, and/or the change to plug the machinery to -G.
