Qt3 doesn't do locale-aware uppercasing, so i will never be uppercased to 
İ, even when it should.

Qt4 hasn't yet fixed the bug. If/when they do, I hope there will be a 
locale-unaware uppercasing function. Or, if there isn't, we'll need an 
ASCII-only uppercasing of our own.

In this case, where i18n is involved, locale-aware should be used. Which 
means that Turkish will fail if the word contains "i" to be matched to 
"İ".
