A C library for fast case-insensitive comparison of UTF-8 strings using perfect hashing. Adapted from strcase by Charlie Vieth.
5x-10x faster than icu::UnicodeString::caseCompare.
Often faster than strcasecmp (which does not handle unicode strings), and worst-case only 50% slower than strcasecmp for UTF-8 strings.
