Idiom #133 Case-insensitive string contains

Set boolean ok to true if string word is contained in string s as a substring, even if the case doesn't match, or to false otherwise.

my $ok = $s =~ /\Q$word/i;

Unicode compliance is hard.
#include <algorithm>
#include <cctype>
auto ok = std::search(std::begin(s), std::end(s), std::begin(word), std::end(word),
    [](auto c, auto d){
        return std::tolower(c) == std::tolower(d);
    }
) != std::end(s);
