Thanks for mentioning this. I didn't know that property of Turkish.
However, I'm not sure how Turkish people would do lowercase translation

This is one question to ask. The other consideration is:
If a script contains an invocation "
This consideration points to using
(a) c_strcasecmp (a, b) or
(b) c_strcasecmp (a, b) || mbscasecmp (a, b).
If your Turkish friend says he would write "ırıs", then it points to (b).
If not, i.e. if such a word is not considered like a Turkish word, it points
to (a).
I haven't asked ye

I installed this. It adds a dependency of regex on localcharset,
which I'd rather avoid, but the alternatives seemed worse to me.

Fix regex code so it doesn't rely on strcasecmp.
* lib/regex_internal.h: Include only if _LIBC is define
I installed the following to fix the 'exclude' module to avoid
strcasecmp, and to modernize it to support FNM_EXTMATCH.
However, here I had some performance problems with mbscasemcp. Given
two multibyte strings A and B, I want to know whether A is an initial
prefix of B, ignoring case during comp

Thanks. This improves regex on
- Mingw, which doesn't have nl_langinfo(CODESET) and where the locale
is usually set through system settings, not through environment variables,
- Cygwin, where nl_langinfo
This introduces a function mbsncasecmp(), which is like strncasecmp() except
that it works with characters instead of bytes and the count argument N is
the number of characters, not the number of bytes.

New module mbsncasecmp.

Most of the uses of strncasecmp are for the purpose of testing whether a
string is prefix of another string. Using mbsncasecmp() is not comfortable
for this case. I'm adding a new function mbspcasecmp() for this purpose.
The 'p' stands for "prefix" or "pointer".

The only reason for the case-insensitive comparison here is support
for Windows-like file names, right? So the issue is not worth our
worrying about (except perhaps as a warning that we should avoid
case-insensitive comparison whenever we can :-).
Not really. It's an option name, and options a
