functions are not standard at all. This is why in addition to all wxString
functions, there are also a few global string functions which try to correct
these problems: \helpref{wxIsEmpty()}{wxisempty} verifies whether the string
-is empty (returning {\tt TRUE} for {\tt NULL} pointers),

version of case-insensitive string comparison function known either as
