Description
Microsoft Power Fx Console Formula REPL, Version 1.99.0.0
Enter Excel formulas. Use "Help()" for details, "Option()" for options.
>> IsMatch( "3", Match.Digit, MatchOptions.IgnoreCase )
false
>> Match( "3", Match.Digit, MatchOptions.IgnoreCase )
false
>> MatchAll( "3", Match.Digit, MatchOptions.IgnoreCase )
false
>> MatchAll( "3", Match.Digit )
FullMatch StartMatch SubMatches
=========== ============ ============
3 1 <table>
>> Match( "3", Match.Digit )
{FullMatch:"3", StartMatch:1, SubMatches:
<empty table>}
>> IsMatch( "3", Match.Digit )
true
It shouldn't do that (always return false)... And that's not what it does in Canvas.

Research direction
Reproduce the three expressions in the Microsoft Power Fx Console Formula REPL, comparing MatchOptions.IgnoreCase with the same calls without it. Check the implementation and tests for IsMatch, Match, and MatchAll, then verify that applying IgnoreCase does not make the digit pattern return false and that the behavior matches Canvas.
