I was looking through the "ignore case" comparisons for String recently, and discovered that unless it's a full Unicode check (ie, including surrogate pairs) they all check upper case first, then lower, only if the uppercase values are equal.
Anyone care to guess why that might be the case? I presume they had their reasons.

Ah. That might be it. There was a mention in the code about Turkish, but no explanation as to why (or any link).
Cheers for that.
