String-like class supporting case-insensitive comparisons

3 bonuses 9 hints 10 solutions 343 users solved 26 reviews

I'd like you to write a FuzzyString class which acts like a string, but does comparisons in a case-insensitive way.

For example:

>>> greeting = FuzzyString('Hey TREY!')
>>> greeting == 'hey Trey!'
True
>>> greeting == 'heyTrey'
False
>>> greeting
'Hey TREY!'

I'd like you to make sure equality and inequality match case-insensitively at first. I'd also like you to ensure that the string representations of your class match Python's string object's default string representations.
