dbxcase
This is an implementation of text case-folding which matches how Dropbox handles file paths.
Dropbox was originally implemented using Python 2.5 (the current version at the time) and used its
unicode.lower() function to compare paths case-insensitively. Python 2.5 is long gone, but its
behavior of this function has been preserved to maintain backwards compatibility.
Python 2.5's case-folding is based on Unicode 4.1.0's character database, but does not implement the case-folding algorithm recommended. Instead, it simply applies the "simple lowercase mapping" which is a 1:1 character mapping and does not take any context into account. And of course, it lacks many characters added since 2003.
As a result, it differs in several ways from any modern to_lowercase() function like the one
included in the Rust standard library. These differences are important if proper interoperation
with the Dropbox API is desired.
