//! Utility to normalize identifiers.

/// Normalize an identifier, as found in references and
/// [definitions][definition], so it can be compared when matching.
///
/// This collapsed whitespace found in markdown (`\t`, `\r`, `\n`, and ` `)
/// into one space, trims it (as in, dropping the first and last space),
/// and then performs unicode case folding twice: first by uppercasing
/// lowercase characters, and then lowercasing uppercase characters.
///
/// Some characters are considered “uppercase”, such as U+03F4 (`ϴ`), but if
/// their lowercase counterpart (U+03B8 (`θ`)) is uppercased will result in a
/// different uppercase character (U+0398 (`Θ`)).
/// Hence, to get that form, we perform both upper- and lowercase.
///
/// ## Examples
///
/// ```rust ignore
/// micromark::util::normalize_identifier::normalize_identifier;
///
/// assert_eq!(normalize_identifier(" a "), "a");
/// assert_eq!(normalize_identifier("a\t\r\nb"), "a b");
/// assert_eq!(normalize_identifier("ПРИВЕТ"), "привет");
/// assert_eq!(normalize_identifier("Привет"), "привет");
/// assert_eq!(normalize_identifier("привет"), "привет");
/// ```
///
