Previously, when performing find() operations or indexing operations on
the section map, it would need to operate on a std::string key.
This means cases like:
map.find(some_string_view)
aren't usable, which kind of sucks, especially given for most cases, we
use regular string literals to perform operations in calling code.
However, since C++14, it's possible to use heterogenous lookup to avoid
needing to construct exact key types. In otherwords, we can perform the
above or use string literals without constructing a std::string instance
around them implicitly.
We simply need to specify a member type within our comparison struct
named is_transparent, to allow std::map to perform automatic type
deduction.
We also slightly alter the algorithm to an equivalent compatible with
std::string_view (which need not be null-terminated), as strcasecmp
requires null-terminated strings.
While we're at it, we can also provide a helper function to the struct
for comparing string equality rather than only less than. This allows
removing other usages of strcasecmp in other functions, allowing for the
transition of them to std::string_view.
