| +// UNICODE CASE-HANDLING ADVICE
|
| +//
|
| +// In English it's always safe to convert to upper-case or lower-case text
|
| +// and get a good answer. But some languages have rules specific to those
|
| +// locales. One example is the Turkish I:
|
| +// http://www.i18nguy.com/unicode/turkish-i18n.html
|
| +//
|
| +// ToLower/ToUpper use the current ICU locale which will take into account
|
| +// the user language preference. Use this when dealing with user typing.
|
| +//
|
| +// FoldCase canonicalizes to a standardized form independent of the current
|
| +// locale. Use this when comparing general Unicode strings that don't
|
| +// necessarily belong in the user's current locale (like commands, protocol
|
| +// names, other strings from the web) for case-insensitive equality.
|
| +//
|
| +// Note that case conversions will change the length of the string in some
|
| +// not-uncommon cases. Never assume that the output is the same length as
|
| +// the input.
