Fix/improve documentation of String/Symbol#casecmp[?]
Fix documentation of String#casecmp? (examples didn't have the '?'). Add an example with non-ASCII characters. Clarify that casecmp, unlike casecmp?, only does case-insensitivity on A-Z/a-z. [ci skip] git-svn-id: svn+ssh://ci.ruby-lang.org/ruby/trunk@56926 b2dd03c8-39d4-4d8f-98ff-823fe69b080e
