[ruby-core:77377] [Ruby trunk Feature#12786] String#casecmp?

Issue #12786 has been updated by Martin D端rst.


Can you describe exactly what String#casecmp? method would do? Does it only compare for equality (after case folding)?

This proposal is interesting, because String#upcase/downcase/capitalize/swapcase now work for all of Unicode. But String#casecmp doesn't, because it would be a lot of additional work (and would depend on natural language) as to which string is larger or smaller.

But that doesn't apply to String#casecmp?, so it could be made to work rather easily with all of Unicode. Essentially, the implementation would be something like

````ruby
class String
  def casecomp? (other)
    downcase(:fold) == other.downcase(:fold)
  end
end
````

Description

I would find String#casecmp? convenience method handy.  I don't believe I've ever called String#casecmp without chaining #zero? to the result.

```ruby
'abc'.casecmp?('ABC') #=> true
'abc'.casecmp?('DEF') #=> false
```
