Details

Right now we have no way to compare UTF-8 strings in a case-insensitive manner without converting both strings to UTF-16 first.  This is expensive if we have to do this a lot and/or with long strings.  #developers seems to think this is possible, so I've filed this bug.
Shouldn't this live in Core::XPCOM?

Maybe?  Wasn't really sure where to put it.
