Description
String manipulation functions and regular expressions require lowercase/uppercase conversion. See
http://www.ecma-international.org/ecma-262/5.1/#sec-15.5.4.16
To implement them, we need some utilities in the core.
-
We need a variant, which converts a character to its uppercase described in (starting from Canonicalize part)
http://www.ecma-international.org/ecma-262/5.1/#sec-15.10.2.8 -
We also need variants, which converts characters to 1 or more upper/lowercase characters. E.g. the uppercase form of german sharp s is SS. This is needed for String.prototype.toUpperCase String.prototype.toLowerCase.
-
Fortunately LocaleCompare is platform dependent.
Could you raise the priority of implementing these functions in the core?
