2) as i say you before, i need to sort filenames in windows fashion (case-ignoring), so if you will include case-ignoring comparision operators - i will be glad
Case ignoring comparisons make only sense on characters - not on bytes. And fps is ignoring character set conversion issues. I think the proper way is to provide a layer on top of (and separate from) fps that does conversion into character strings where things like case make sense.
