The following documentation comment has been logged on the website:

Page: https://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.6/static/functions-matching.html
Description:

PostgreSQL 9.6 Manual: 9.7.3.5. Regular Expression Matching Rules

States "If case-independent matching is specified" which I think should be
"If case-insensitive matching is specified".

* The term "independent" is not used anywhere else on the page.
* When searching the page for case insensitivity this important paragraph
gets skipped. I had to resort to searching for "case" and skipping the
irrelevant results.
