Interesting warnings from latest MS compiler

[Markus Schoder]

Your strcompare() still won't work, because it won't handle multiple byte
character sets, such as UTF-8. ;-)

Yep, kind of proofs my point. There is a whole slew of multibyte
character/string handling functions in the standard. So everybody is
supposed to use these and a host of wide character functions to
implement a case insensitive compare function on his own. This way lies
madness.

A locale aware case insensitive compare function should be in the
standard. Period.

How necessary, the apostrophe.

So small, so cute, so quaint.

It fits between the letters

To point out where they ain't.

toupper('ß') == 'ß'

Indeed. But shouldn't it be "SS"?
