I'd like to have a kind of NSString where isEqual: is case-insensitive. The
reason I want this is so that when such a string is an object in a
dictionary, allKeysForObject will work case-insensitively. For example, if
I have a dictionary where both keys and objects are strings, like this:
yo: Hello
ha: Haha
...then if I say [dict allKeysForObject: @"hello"] I'd like to get back an
array consisting of @"yo".
Is there an elegant and safe way to do this? You'd think there would be a
way to tell an individual string to flip case sensitivity off for the
purpose of all comparisons, but there doesn't seem to be one built in. m.
