(original) (raw)
True, but I could similarly argue that the nice thing about CaseInsensitiveString is it is usable for much more than dictionary keys - it just depends on your point of view.
There would be nothing stopping other types of dictionary key transformation being covered by other key data types in a similar way, I'm simply trying to raise the question of where the genericity could sit: in the dictionary or in the key.

It strikes me that there could be an alternative approach to some of the use cases discussed here. Instead of a new type
The nice thing about the TransformDict is it is usable for much more than simple case-insensitivity.
