String Case/Comparison of Polish strings

Due to the fact, that case conversion and string comparison is encoding and locale dependent, in Ruby 1.9 the default implementation of String#upcase, String#downcase and String#<=> doesn’t work properly for languages other than English.

This library brings the implementation of #upcase, #downcase, #capitalize and #<=> which accords with the Polish grammar rules.

INSTALL

gem install string_case_pl

USAGE

If you want only #upcase #downcase and #capitalize to work properly require the following file:

require 'string_case_pl'

If you also want #<=> to work properly, require the following file:

require 'string_cmp_pl'

It implicitly requires the ‘string_case_pl’. This is split into two file, since reimplementation of <=> for string might cause a serious performance hit.
