I saw all those, yes. The Perl wrappers have a many such compares, and
the dotless-I isn't the only worrying aspect of that.

As for ASCII-only wrappers ... I suspect we have too many specialized
string functions as it is. Or too few, depending on point of view. :)
Also I believe our friends who port Subversion to OS/400 would be a bit
unhappy if we created ASCII-specific (or rather, "7-bit Unicode
subset"-specific) string functions.
