Comment:

 Hello,

 As the documentation states, is_iequal is "element" or "character"
 comparison predicate. As so it is used as a plugin to more complext
 algorithms that are using it for atomic operations on elements of a
 string.

 If you'd like to compare strings, you can use lexicographical_compare
 algorithm.

 Regards,
 Pavol.
