I don't see any N**2.  Yeah, that would be bad.

Squeeze out "_".  Convert to lower case (or upper case?).
Convert similar-looking characters to the same.
(E.g. "0"(zero) --> "O"(Oh).)  Then compare.

It might be complicated to figure out what characters
are "similar-looking", and to figure out which Unicode
case-mapping to use, but it seems like an O(N) lookup
in a hash table should then suffice.
