Actually the patch below is a simpler solution for that.  An other
advantage of that is that hgetc()/hungetc() is not used which is
scientifically better since tokens should be recognized in lex.c and
parse.c should only use the tokens returned by lex.c.  The patch to lex.c
removes an unnecessary special case for `<' in a case pattern.  After that
the only effect of the incasepat variable is that it disables spell
checking.
