Twig - replace string case insensitive

I want to replace a text inside string using twig to make it bold, here's my code:

{{ string|replace({(text): '<span style="font-weight: bold;">'~text~'</span>'})|raw }}

In this example:

string = "Hello world!"
text = "hello"

Will not replace the word 'Hello'. How can I make it to be case insensitive?

Yes, the replace filter is case sensitive and there are no option to change it.

If you look at Twig's source code, you can see that replace uses strtr:

// lib/Twig/Extension/Core.php
(...)
new Twig_SimpleFilter('replace', 'strtr'),

If you don't care to loose your original case, you can use workarounds, such as:

{{ string|lower|replace({(text): '<span style="font-weight: bold;">'~text~'</span>'})|raw }}

See: http://twigfiddle.com/6ian2b

Else, you can create your own extension, something like:

$filter = new Twig_SimpleFilter('ireplace', function($input, array $replace) {
  return str_ireplace(array_keys($replace), array_values($replace), $input);
});

I think that this feature might be useful for the whole Twig community, you can open an enhancement on GitHub.
