Hi everyone,
ignoreCase - JavaScript proposal
It's a proposal to implement a new function to compare two strings but
without case sensitivity.
The proposal is bringing an important function, which is being used in
Java. Many times in my career I had to compare two strings but ignore case
sensiti
Would it not be simpler to simply change the signature from
`function(value, arrayOfStrings)` to `function(...values)`?
I'd also suggest that a better, more general purpose formulation of
comparing a string against multiple values might be to use #match.
Something like:
```
const checkString = (s

BTW, have you tried `string.localeCompare(other, null, {sensitivity:
"base"})` or `sensitivity: "accent"`?

If you're wanting to propose new places for decorators, you'd have much
better luck here: https://github.com/tc39/proposal-decorators
I do agree this is an obvious place for a decorator, and it is probably the
ideal way of specifying it for object properties, but your larger proposal

Hi,
I think you’re right, It could be simpler to do it like that.
I have checked “localeCompare”, it does compare case sensitive strings but it
doesn’t compare strings in an array and to do it, you will have to execute the
method as many times as strings in an array. By using ignoreCase method

This makes your method markedly less useful than `localeCompare`. It's
really useful to know not just tha

That's not a problem. For the "does this string match any in thi

fairly verbose, so I'd probably have a utility function for it.)
I would just create a collator outside the loop:
```js
const stringOne = "Matheus";
const manyStrings = ['robert', 'lucas', 'matheus'];
const {compare} = new In

I meant verbose to write every time you need to do a cas
I would be a fan of adding a `string.compare(other, {ignoreCase = false,
unicode = false})` that purely works by character code/code point and is
required to return 1, 0, or -1. That would be easier to spec, and is more
generally useful when you're working with strings for computers, not people.

I agree the main proposal is long and complex, but this kind of addition
could be designed with little effort to "fall out of the grid", since it
has so much in common with classes already (properties, getters/setters,
methods). The main question is with properties, but those are easy to just
leave
*An errata in my code*
The getter is mutating the object with a enumerable property, so
consecutives invocations of JSON.stringify will result different from
the first call (if the property is yet not initialized). The current
problem is:
```js
JSON.stringify(foo) // Returns "{"bar":3}"
// After th
14 matches
