Yes, I agree completely. The issue is implementation. Simply using the
NORM_IGNORESYMBOLS flag yields comparison functions that can return 0 on
unequal strings. Eric pointed out the problem with that; moreover, it
seriously violates users' expectations and compatibility with glibc. I
thought I had a way around that, but Corinna pointed out in
https://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2015-10/msg00559.html why my suggestion
doesn't work. At this point I'm out of ideas.
