How does one handle case sensitivity for ranges of abstract types?

I've found that rewriting traditional code, which is what std.string
is now, in terms of algorithms is a bit mind-bending. But it's well
worth it, and fun.
Would be pretty neat if std.string and std.regex would work with
char-like types which actually carry more data per character. That way,
it'd be possible to do string/regex transforms (search & replace, etc.)
but keep track where exactly each character came from.
Exactly. I've been toying with idea of having generic notion of
Alphabets for more then a year now. That would also be generalizing code
unit / code point stuff of Unicode, into legacy encodings and beyond.
One case I had in mind is the very limited (A, C, T, G) alphabet in
bio-informatics.
