Issue #12786 has been updated by Robert A. Heiler.
I think .eql? is not a good name because it chops away characters.
Imagine if we would have .sz or .sz? rather than .size. Or .lngth
rather than .length. :D
.casecmp? does chop away characters too but at least it is a bit
easier to read. Though the name could be .casecompare?() or
.equal() or .case_equal? - actually the last one may be better.
You gave some more examples for names too:
#case_equal?
#case_insensitive_equal?
#insensitive_equal?
#iequal?
I think .iequal? is not good for the same reasons; right now I
like .case_equal? the most but perhaps there may be even better
names, who knows.
Anyway I guess the name can be decided at a later point too - guess
you have to see whether matz considers the described behaviour
useful to have for ruby. If so then I am sure the name can be
easily chosen. :)
(You need to keep in mind that, once implemented and available,
it will eventually be used in ruby scripts so it should "fit"
into ruby itself too.)

Description
I would find String#casecmp? convenience method handy. I don't believe I've ever called String#casecmp without chaining #zero? to the result.
```ruby
'abc'.casecmp?('ABC') #=> true
'abc'.casecmp?('DEF') #=> false
```
