Converting to uppercase or lowercase doesn't always work as desired.

For example, when using Turkish you can have problems, because the
Turkish variant of the Latin alphabet splits i/I into two different
letters, namely dotted "i" (uppercase is "İ" or "\u0130") and dotless
"I" (lowercase is "ı" or "\u0131").
