Since there are already three of these variations in core, I think that shows that this would be a handy function to have. I've used `cl-equalp' for this in the past, but having a `string-' prefixed function might make sense. And in that case, what about calling it `string-equalp'? But perhaps too obscure for people coming from an non-CL background, so `string-equal-ignore-case' is fine by me.
