Nah. There is one obvious problem, the Turkish i and I. There might
be a few more. But it should be possible to define sensible rules
for a general case-insensiivty for the Latin/Cyrillic/Greek scripts.
For other scripts you could probably define the standard to be both
case and width sensitive (for Japanese) if you wanted to keep it simple,
