There are currently (at least) two ways for marking case insensitivity =
in the name: the character =E2=80=9Ci=E2=80=9D as in stripos() and  the =
substring =E2=80=9Ccase=E2=80=9D as in: strcasecmp().

Adding a third way, namely the =E2=80=9Cci=E2=80=9D suffix (or, even =
worse, a flag) is absolutely in the silly tradition of inconsistent =
naming of PHP functions (although admittedly not one we should strive to =
maintain)... except that =E2=80=9Cci=E2=80=9D is maybe more meaningful =
than =E2=80=9Ci=E2=80=9D and =E2=80=9Ccase=E2=80=9D.
