-# Please note that matching in the path is CASE INSENSITIVE by default, but
-# you can switch to case sensitive by starting the pattern with the "(?-i)"
-# switch:
-#
-# www.example.com/(?-i)PaTtErN.*

-# Partially case-sensitive and partially case-insensitive patterns are
-# possible, but the rules about splitting them up are extremely complex
