A rename can be proposed by creating a subthread: [...]
Rationale:
As with setExt, std.uni already contains functions called
toLower/toUpper, thus the only difference in name is that the
implied word "Case" is omitted. The distinction is not
memorable.
Proposed new name: lowerCased / upperCased
I really hate this naming scheme for functions that take lazy
parameters. I still don't see why we don't do the (IMO) simplest
and most intuitive thing and name them lazyToLower / lazyToUpper
(or toLowerLazy / toUpperLazy). There is precedent with C#'s
handling of async functions; for example, AccessTheWebAsync or
GetStringAsync[1]. Your proposed naming scheme seems like it's
trying to be too "clever" and really just ends up causing
unnecessary confusion. This is not Ruby.
