Description
Currently, using b or B to open a bookmark in a tab is case sensitive for uppercase letters. For example, I have a bookmark titled "Calendar", and if I use b or B with "cal...", then the Calendar bookmark pops up as the first result, but if I instead type "CAL...", no results appear. Could this be changed to be case insensitive for capital letters as well, so that Calendar would still appear as a bookmark result if I start typing calendar in all caps?
The motivation behind this feature request is that I like to have caps on while using Vimium, so any time I go to open a tab with a bookmark I typically type my bookmark query in all caps.

Research direction
Start at the b/B bookmark-opening command and trace the bookmark query-matching entry point. Inspect how typed text is compared with bookmark titles, then make uppercase and lowercase queries return the same results and verify the Calendar example through the existing bookmark-opening flow.
