/** this function compares two array of chars apart of capitalization through comparing 
 * every character (whose the fifth bit was set to 1) of both arrays - see the function code
 * - very useful for text analysis, interpretation and also in machine learning applications
 * for example: checking source code for case insensitive programming languages, like SQL etc.
 * where the execution time is an issue.
