Get by Country Code with ignore case

[zaha]

Hi,

I just noticed that GetCountryByAlpha2 (and I assume GetCountryByAlpha3 as well) is case-sensitive. How about adding a parameter that allows this check to ignore case (or even make this the default)?

When comparing country codes I never rely on casing.

Cheers
Michael

Hi, Michael!

Hi @ilyabreev are you still open to a PR to improve matching? In trying to parse some data of poor quality we have identified the following improvements:

• Case insensitive matching
• Trim whitespace
• Trim "The" prefix or " (the)", ", the" suffixes
• Fuzzy match for typos (this one would be only by parameter or by having duplicate methods e.g. GetCountryByFuzyShortName)

If you're happy to consider such a PR do you have any contribution guidelines?
