I lifted this from `Text.ParserCombinators.Parsec.Rfc2234` and used it
in a project of mine (lentil).


    ciString s = mapM ciChar s <?> "case insensitive string"
        where
              ciChar :: Char -> ParIssue Char
              ciChar c = char (C.toLower c) <|> char (C.toUpper c)

This assumes you are using Parsec parsing library.
