Yes, that's what I'm doing. No, I don't think it's correct.

I am finding the extension in the case folded string and using that byte
offset to select the string length from the original string.

It could only be correct if the case folded string is guaranteed to be
the same length in bytes as the original string. For ASCII, that's
pretty likely. I'm not so sure about other types of characters. Perhaps
I'm wrong about that.

Is there a guaranteed correct way to do that?
