ANN: case-insensitive-0.1
Dear all, I had this old module laying around that I wrote some time ago. I dusted it off and uploaded it to Hackage: http://hackage.haskell.org/package/case-insensitive-0.1 The package provides the module Data.CaseInsensitive which exports the CI type constructor which can be parameterised by a string-like type like: String, ByteString, Text, etc.. Comparisons of values of the resulting type are then insensitive to cases. It is my hope that one day packages like snap-core[1], http-types[2] or wai[3] all use this common way of making strings case insensitive.

Hi Bas
This could be a useful package but can you add a note that this does
not do correct Unicode-aware comparison on String (though AFAICT it is
correct for Text)?

Good point! I just released version 0.2: http://hackage.haskell.org/package/case-insensitive-0.2 Changelog: * Added note about the not fully correct case folding of types other than Text Requested by Max Rabkin. * Removed FoldCase instance for [s] and added one for String I think this makes more sense. Bumped version from 0.1 to 0.2 because of the removed instance. * Export foldedCase :: CI s -> s. * Other little documentation fixes. Regards, Bas
