+ * Case insensitive string compararison.
+ *
+ * iconv does not directly give us a way to compare strings in
+ * arbitrary unix character sets -- all we can is convert and then
+ * compare. This is expensive.
+ *
+ * As an optimization, we do a first pass that considers only the
+ * prefix of the strings that is entirely 7-bit. Within this, we
+ * check whether they have the same value.
+ *
+ * Hopefully this will often give the answer without needing to copy.
+ * In particular it should speed comparisons to literal ascii strings
+ * or comparisons of strings that are "obviously" different.
+ *
+ * If we find a non-ascii character we fall back to converting via
+ * iconv.
+ *
+ * This should never be slower than convering the whole thing, and
+ * often faster.
+ *
+ * A different optimization would be to compare for bitwise equality
+ * in the binary encoding. (It would be possible thought hairy to do
+ * both simultaneously.) But in that case if they turn out to be
+ * different, we'd need to restart the whole thing.
+ *
+ * Even better is to implement strcasecmp for each encoding and use a
+ * function pointer.
