Description

https://github.com/teeshop/rexgen/commit/9468680a1d86e25f6e08d98fbcd32980c2ec6d8b

We still have this in code (within our command line arg), but the flag that gets set never is used any more (after Jan's update last december: https://github.com/magnumripper/JohnTheRipper/commit/f3cd0e6393278eba7e8456666c1b27a8df8e4938#commitcomment-16945258)

We need to find out if there are plans to ever bring that function back, and if not, then remove this option from the regex interface.

Note, the =alpha:case does work (after I renamed case to cased).
