Adding a rustdoc option to do case-sensitive search

[tesuji]

It likes smartcase mode in vim.

If a pattern contains an uppercase letter, it is case sensitive, otherwise, it is not.
For example, "The" would find only "The", while "the" would find "the" or "The" etc.

It seems rustdoc doesn't order things by case; e.g. if you search for Take it will put lower case stuff first.

All searches are case insensitive indeed. What would it bring to add a case sensitive search from your point of view?

[Centril]

@GuillaumeGomez I would do case insensitive searching but sensitive sorting as the default where e.g. F comes before f if you searched for Foo. At least if you intentionally write something uppercase that is a cue that the user is searching for a type.

[GuillaumeGomez]

Hmmm... Between types having the same value, that'd make sense I suppose?
