Description
The Java regular expression engine supports the case insensitive mode. When this mode is turned on, the engine is supposed to match the input text without regard to the case of the characters it consists of.
However, the current implementation of matching against some named character classes (those that are encoded with \p{name} or \P{name} constructs) fails to respect the case insensitive mode.
This fix makes these character classes behave consistently with respect to case sensitivity. When the regular expression engine operates in the case insensitive mode, the named character classes will match the input characters without regard to their case: lower case, upper case, or title case.
