+Return true if the strings s1 and s2 differ case-insensitively, false
+if not (if they are equal case-insensitively).  If u1 is true, the
+string s1 is assumed to be in UTF-8-encoded Unicode.  If u2 is true,
+the string s2 is assumed to be in UTF-8-encoded Unicode.  (If both u1
+and u2 are false, ibcmp() is called.)
+
+For case-insensitiveness, the "casefolding" of Unicode is used
+instead of upper/lowercasing both the characters, see
