"Locale," but yes. Utf8proc relies on the Unicode generic case-folding
rules, which are indeed locale-independent. They won't always be 100%
grammatically correct for a particular environment, but from my reading
they'll be good enough for the purpose, which is to find stuff not write
a linguistic thesis. A few strictly-speaking false-positive edge cases
won't hurt.
