Thanks a lot for this very quick work!

Unfortunately, it's not correct. I haven't checked everything, but at least cp1252_get_case_fold_codes_by_str doesn't deal with the special cases in get_case_fold_codes_by_str for ss/SS/ß.

I suggest that we do some more exploratory work before addressing this bug directly.

First, I suspect that other (windows-12xx,...) encodings have very similar problems.

Second, I found this bug because I was trying to find out what information that the encoding primitives already provide for case folding and case conversion.

I have only just started that, but depending on what I/we find, we may want/need to:

1) use this information and be done;
2) use this information and add some more information separately;
3) change this information (e.g. add or change some primitives) so that it covers all the needs for case conversion;
4) provide the information for case conversion completely separately.

I suggest that we wait with fixing this bug until we are able to rule out choice 3).

If there is a (short, up-to-date) summary of what each of the encoding primitives does, that would help me a lot (Japanese would be okay).

By chance I had a look at enc/iso_8859_1.c and found

~~~C
ENC_REPLICATE("Windows-1252", "ISO-8859-1")
~~~
on line 288. But this does not work for case folding:

~~~ruby
# http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows-1252
s1 = "\u0160".encode 'windows-1252' # 'Š'
r1 = Regexp.new("\u0161".encode('windows-1252'), Regexp::IGNORECASE) # /š/i
s1 =~ r1
   # => nil
s2 = "\u0178".encode 'windows-1252' # 'Ÿ'
r2 = Regexp.new("\u00FF".encode('windows-1252'), Regexp::IGNORECASE) # /ÿ/i
s2 =~ r2
   # => nil
s3 = "\u00C0".encode 'windows-1252' # 'À'
r3 = Regexp.new("\u00E0".encode('windows-1252'), Regexp::IGNORECASE) # /à/i
s3 =~ r3
   # => 0
~~~

So case-insensitive matching works when both characters are in iso-8859-1, but not when one (ÿŸ) or both (ŠšŽžŒœ) characters are not in iso-8859-1.
