I debugged to see if there are rescues. My answer is no. So I still
don't find how "a case-insensitive search against a target string
containing a non-Latin-1 code will crash". As far as I see,
case-insensitive search works as it is, just taking no effect on
Unicode points larger than 255. I guess there are already protections.
