Re^3: uc and German eszett "ß" (Unicode standard)

I think fc and //i should have the same inner semantics.

But //i doesn't help in our case since we needed hash-keys.

Anyway this was already solved on another level ...

I think `fc` and `//i` should have the same inner semantics. They do. That's literally the point of the message to which you replied. Anyway this was already solved on another level ... I wasn't proposing a solution; I was contradicting the claim that «fc is the only acceptable solution for comparing "case insensitive strings".»	[reply] [d/l] [select]

if its the same, there is only one way I'm not sure why you mention this since regex matches and comparisons using `fc` are very much not the same thing?! You even said as much yourself a few posts up ("//i doesn't help in our case since we needed hash-keys"). Let's agree to agree. ~~You want to disagree with the author of a post about what the post means... ok. How very special of you.~~ Misread :(	[reply] [d/l]
