Thanks indeed! Two issues that I had some interest in are fixed. Yay!

I am aware how complex unicode collation is[1] but I somehow find it 
very wrong to list Ömer at the end. :)

Obviously because I am used to the Turkish alphabet but in any case 
because Ö is very much related to O, I find it universally better to 
list Ö right after O. (The same should be for all latin based characters.)

I see there is std.uni.icmp which uses

   dmd/std/internal/unicode_tables.d

but it doesn't help because the array fullCaseTable in there seems to be 
about equivalence (e.g. of ß and ss). I think we need a "mostly correct" 
collation for latin based characters.

I have a hacky[2] solution only for Turkish, which I used for the Index 
section of my book:

[2] The comment about the hacky treatment of 'I' in there is another 
example of how difficult collation is. This may not fit everybody's 
preference but as a result and as I desired, the entries "IDE" and 
"InputRange" appear under 'İ' in the index (instead of 'I'):
