You don't realize how buggy things are?

The most common way to do case-insensitivity is to basically pick a common 
case, and compare it in that common case. 

And if you use that algorithm, them 'ß' and 'ss' are equal in a 
case-insensitive filesystem. 

Does anybody do that? I don't know. But I sure as hell wouldn't be 
surprised.
