I need a case-insensitive check to see if a string contains

This doesn't actually work properly in all languages. It will
probably work in most, but it's not entirely correct.
Ex. Turkish will not work with it properly.
Greek will also be problematic. 2 different lowercase sigmas but
only 1 uppercase. Other languages that may make issues, German
where normally ß uppercases as SS (or not) but not the other way
round, but here we already arrived to Unicode land and the
normalization conundrum.
