  Returns true iff @a lhs and @a rhs compare equal, ignoring case.

  Prefer this over libswoc's @c strcasecmp(std::string_view, std::string_view) when you only need
  an equality check: this short-circuits on length mismatch, whereas the libswoc version must keep
  comparing bytes to produce a correct ordering result even when the lengths differ.

  For case-sensitive comparison, use @c std::string_view::operator==.
