Indicates if prefix/path matching should be case insensitive?

Hmm ... does it make sense for our internal types to match the xDS proto in the sense that we also store whether the match is CaseSensitive instead of the other way around?

I used case insensitive in the field because the default value of bool is false, and it's a sane default.

If I make it case sensitive, I will need to make it a *bool, so when it's not set, nil means case sensitive.

I used case insensitive in the field because the default value of bool is false, and it's a sane default.

It looks to me with the way the proto is structured that they want the default to be case sensitive. This is comment on the field:

// Indicates that prefix/path matching should be case sensitive. The default // is true.

If nothing is configured for case-sensitive-or-not, matching should be case-sensitive == true.

If the field is CaseSensitive, it has to be a *bool, so if nothing is configured, its default value is nil, and we can handle it as case-sensitive == true

If the field is CaseInsensitive, when nothing is configured, it's default value is false, same as case-sensitive == true

Based on the comment on the proto field, if the field is not set, we should assume a value of true, right?

// Indicates that prefix/path matching should be case sensitive. The default // is true.

Hmm ... I guess that's what we end up with because of the double negation with the caseInsensitive. If we can always set the value of our field correctly here, wouldn't it be better to use a field which matches the proto?
I just feel that this inconsistency might bite us later.

If we really want to be consistent, the CaseSensitive field has to be a boolean pointer. I really don't like using pointers when we can have a default value that just works, because you will need to check nil before reading its value.

I'm not really suggesting that we use a *bool. But, given that when we process the received route configuration, we are anyways looking to see whether this field is set or not? So, we could still use a caseSensitive bool and set it up as we want based on whether this field exists, and if it exists, based on its value.

But if you are really happy with the way things are, then that's fine.

I'm keeping it for now. If we later find this is causing problems, we can update. This is not a public API.
