Not just there, but certainly for languages such as Turkish that have
different casing rules for the letter "I" (lots of other languages, like
Latin Azeri). Without a fuzzy searching logic, some strings would never be
found!
AFAIK these are not forbidden characters, but since I and i cannot always be
said to be the same letter, the argument of a case-insensitive plan will
quickly run into issues similar to that of the forbidden characters.
