So it turns out that up to and including unicode 6.2, there are *no* characters
outside the BMP where the character and another case (upper, lower, title) of
it differ only in 1 bit. So I wouldn't be able to test any code changes I'd
make here.... is it ok if I just add a comment here that this code might need
revisiting for COMPILE_PCRE32 once such a character outside the BMP exists?
