could be probably more efficiently done by doing the comparison part wise, not
on the whole thing, and with an early abort for mismatching part count, e.g.,
something like:

if self.parts.len() != other.parts.len() {             
    return false;                                      
}                                                      
                                                       
self.parts                                             
    .iter()                                            
    .zip(other.parts.iter())                           
    .all(|(a, b)| a.to_lowercase() == b.to_lowercase())

I always like throwing in some assert_ne ones for sanity checking (e.g., such
optimization tries like above), as otherwise one won't notice if this is broken,
like by just always returning false..
