[Help-bash] IGNORECASE and split()

Hi,

IGNORECASE changes the behavior of split() inconsistently. Why is it
so? Should it be consistent?

awk -v IGNORECASE=1 -e 'BEGIN { n = split("abc", a, "B"); print n }' #
I'd expect the result be 2 here.
1
awk -v IGNORECASE=1 -e 'BEGIN { n = split("abc", a, /B/); print n }'
2

Peng
