Would it be safer to make the new behavior as opt-in, as well as making the system property to be windows specific `windowsCompatibleEquals` or something? Making it as the default might be a bit risky to me.

Also, IIUC the test is comparing cases between 'I', '\u0130' and '\u0131'. Probably we need to cross test with 'i' too.
