And I'm really just worrying that if I add such function it could look
as if Dovecot somehow supported case-insensitive mailbox names. Since
strcasecmp() works only with ASCII, I'd then have to figure out what to
do with non-ASCII letters to really support it correctly, and so on..

I should add support for case-insensitive UTF8 comparing though. SEARCH
command should do this, and it's been in my TODO for ages.
