Fold lowercase characters into the equivalent uppercase characters when
comparing so that, for example, @samp{b} and @samp{B} sort as equal.
The @env{LC_CTYPE} locale determines character types.
+When used with @option{--unique} those lower case equivalent lines are
+thrown away. (There is currently no way to throw away the upper case
+equivalent instead. (Any @option{--reverse} given would only affect
+the final result, after the throwing away.))
