In what sense "tedious" or in any other way disadvantageous or unattractive?

I can't think of an easier or better way to make comparisons
insensitive to case than to use -upper()- or -lower()- to put strings
on the same basis. The alternative would appear to be a regular
expression that you need to get exactly right.
