Yes, you put it in the right list.

There is a problem here, in that the different coreutils and diffutils
programs use different approaches to doing case-insensitive
comparisons.  (We should really be using stricoll if available, for
example; some programs do it, but others don't.)  I'd like to have
this cleaned up while we're adding the functionality, rather than
introduce one more discrepancy.  And I suppose this means adding a new
memcasecoll function to our library, by analogy with memcoll.
