OK. I briefly wondered if
`worktree`::
`worktree/i`::
What follows the keyword `worktree` (or `worktree/i`) and a
colon is used as a glob pattern. If the working directory of
the current worktree matches (with `/i` the match is made
case-insensitively) the pattern, ...
is easier for those who looks up 'worktree' to notice (without
having to scroll too far to look at the other entry) that there is a
case insensitive option available. As the construct used in this
patch mimicks how `gitdir` and `gitdir/i` are described, however, I
think such a change is better done as a separate topic, long after
this patch lands and graduates to the master, to clean up both
`gitdir` and `worktree` in the same commit. So let's leave it out
of this topic.

Fairly straight-forward.

This looks much easier to understand than the previous round.
Thanks.
