Is it OK to break Unicode equivalence

Yeah, because the existing code doesn't pay any attention to stuff like
that. Presumably we wave a magic wand somewhere and claim that
everything inside a given boundary is in some normalized form :-)
(I assume ICU does proper comparisons taking equivalence
into account, hence why it's slow).
nah, it just loops over all the chars like so...
do {
result = ((int32_t)*(chars++) - (int32_t)*(srcChars++));
if(result != 0) {
return (int8_t)(result >> 15 | 1);
}
} while(--minLength > 0);
new code is equivalent for the equal/non-equal case
