Consider Turkish, where İ (U+0130 “Latin Capital Letter I With Dot Above”) is the uppercase form of ı (U+0131 “Latin Small Letter Dotless I”). If the comment contains one version while the identifier contains the other, the comparison will currently fail, while a locale-aware comparison would succeed. You run into similar things with SS vs ß in German as well, where the uppercase form is two characters while the lowercase is only a single character.

Similar will happen with all other parts in LLVM that rely on `StringRef::compare_lower`. I don't think we need a separate test for this _here_, since it's a problem on a completely different level. And I guess the use non-ascii identifiers in C++ will cause much more serious problems than a slightly stricter clang-tidy warning ;]
>> We may just have different testing philosophies -- I would advocate for a test because we know of a use case that's broken with this particular use of `compare_lower`. Not all uses of `compare_lower` are problematic, after all. However, I'm not going to fight for that test case too hard because this is hopefully an edge case that is low-impact. A FIXME would also suffice.

I am totally okay with that line of reasoning. I was mostly looking
for some marker that says "if this acts funky, it's expected, not
accidental." The FIXME scratches that itch for me, so thank you!
