Description
Lets say I defined export _ZL_FZF_FLAG="+s -e +i. And I expected this should trigger case-sensitive search to ~/.zlua, but seems it does not.
Here is a simple example I made.
z -l Dat
0.5 ~/work/data
24 ~/work/DataAnalysis
89.5 ~/work/output/date
1256 ~/work/log/data
As you can see, I validated _ZL_FZF_FLAG by using z -l, and found it's actually case-insensitive.
I have tried using fzf directly with explicit -i flag like this cat ~/.zlua | fzf +i, and it works perfectly.
Maybe there is something I missed or I made mistakes, I'm not sure.
Thanks for any help.

Research direction
Start by tracing how _ZL_FZF_FLAG is read when running z -l and how the ~/.zlua data is passed to fzf. Reproduce the example with +s -e +i and compare it with direct fzf usage; done means the flag produces case-sensitive results such as distinguishing Dat from DataAnalysis.
