This is no longer true, either of 'ch' nor 'll'. The principle you state is correct, of course, but really, this is a collation problem, and affects SQLite3 apps regardless of "flip()". The collation is per-column, and the run-time should make functions aware of the collation (if any) of a column when an argument.
