+ Ensure O(n) worst-case complexity of mbscasestr.
+ * lib/mbscasestr.c: Include stdbool.h.
+ (knuth_morris_pratt_unibyte, knuth_morris_pratt_multibyte): New
+ functions.
+ (mbscasestr): Add some bookkeeping. Invoke knuth_morris_pratt_* when
+ the bookkeeping indicates that it's worth it.
+ * modules/mbscasestr (Depends-on): Add stdbool, mbslen, strnlen.
+
* modules/mbscasestr-tests: New file.
* tests/test-mbscasestr1.c: New file.
* tests/test-mbscasestr2.sh: New file.
