Hi Folks:

I'd like to put an example in the 5.5 migration documentation for the
"Case insensitivity no longer locale specific" section.  Can someone
please provide one?

Thanks,

--Dan

Some locales (Turkish one for example) have very unexpected rules of
lowercasing and uppercasing - IIRC Turkish locale lowercases I into
something else than i. Thus we moved engine functions from
locale-dependent lowercasing to ASCII lowercasing - so "SamIam" is
always lowercased to "samiam".
