            If the platform permits, culture information is ignored completely (ordinal comparison).
            The aim of this method is to provide a fast comparison that deals with <span class="code">null</span> and ignores different casing.
            It is not supposed to deal with various, culture-specific habits.
            Use it to compare against pure ASCII constants, like keywords etc.
