    /// # Difference from uppercase
    ///
    /// Currently, there are three classes of characters where [`to_uppercase()`]
    /// and `to_titlecase()` give different results:
    ///
    /// ## Georgian script
    ///
    /// Each letter in the modern Georgian alphabet can be written in one of two forms:
    /// the typical lowercase-like "mkhedruli" form, and a variant uppercase-like "mtavruli"
    /// form. However, unlike uppercase in most cased scripts, mtavruli is not typically used
    /// to start sentences, denote proper nouns, or for any other purpose
    /// in running text. It is instead confined to titles and headings, which are written entirely
    /// in mtavruli. For this reason, [`to_uppercase()`] applied to a Georgian letter
    /// will return the mtavruli form, but `to_titlecase()` will return the mkhedruli form.
    ///
    /// ```
    /// #![feature(titlecase)]
    /// let ani = 'ა'; // First letter of the Georgian alphabet, in mkhedruli form
    ///
    /// // Titlecasing mkhedruli maps it to itself...
    /// assert_eq!(ani.to_titlecase().to_string(), ani.to_string());
    ///
    /// // but uppercasing it maps it to mtavruli
    /// assert_eq!(ani.to_uppercase().to_string(), "Ა");
    /// ```
    ///
    /// ## Compatibility digraphs for Latin-alphabet Serbo-Croatian
    ///
    /// The standard Latin alphabet for the Serbo-Croatian language
    /// (Bosnian, Croatian, Montenegrin, and Serbian) contains
    /// three digraphs: Dž, Lj, and Nj. These are usually represented as
    /// two characters. However, for compatibility with older character sets,
    /// Unicode includes single-character versions of these digraphs.
    /// Each has a uppercase, titlecase, and lowercase version:
    ///
    /// - `'DŽ'`, `'Dž'`, `'dž'`
    /// - `'LJ'`, `'Lj'`, `'lj'`
    /// - `'NJ'`, `'Nj'`, `'nj'`
    ///
    /// Unicode additionally encodes a casing triad for the Dz digraph
    /// without the caron: `'DZ'`, `'Dz'`, `'dz'`.
    ///
    /// ## Iota-subscritped Greek vowels
    ///
    /// In ancient Greek, the long vowels alpha (α), eta (η), and omega (ω)
    /// were sometimes followed by an iota (ι), forming a diphthong. Over time,
    /// the diphthong pronunciation was slowly lost, with the iota becoming mute.
    /// Eventually, the ι disappeared from the spelling as well.
    /// However, there remains a need to represent ancient texts faithfully.
    ///
    /// Modern editions of ancient Greek texts commonly use a reduced-sized
    /// ι symbol to denote mute iotas, while distinguishing them from ιs
    /// which continued to affect pronunciation. The exact standard differs
    /// between different publications. Some render the mute ι below its associated
    /// vowel (subscript), while others place it to the right of said vowel (adscript).
    /// The interaction of mute ι symbols with casing also varies.
    ///
    /// The Unicode Standard, for its default casing rules, chose to make lowercase
    /// Greek vowels with iota subscipt (e.g. `'ᾠ'`) titlecase to the uppercase vowel
    /// with iota subscript (`'ᾨ'`) but uppercase to the uppercase vowel followed by
    /// full-size uppercase iota (`"ὨΙ"`). This is just one convention among many
    /// in common use, but it is the one Unicode settled on,
    /// so it is what this method does also.
    ///
    /// # Note on locale
    ///
    /// As stated above, this method is locale-insensitive.
    /// If you need locale support, consider using an external crate,
    /// like [`icu_casemap`](https://crates.io/crates/icu_casemap)
