I don't know who to go to to make this change request to the c library standard
(ANSI C Library?).
it would not break any existing code, but it would make the function EVER more
useful!
in ctype.h, these macros should be redefined.

#define toupper(ch) ((ch>='a'&&ch<='z')?ch-('a'-'A'):ch)
#define tolower(ch) ((ch>='A'&&ch<='Z')?ch+('a'-'A'):ch)
simple?
the old definition simply subtracts and thus requires an if statement to
properly work - so why did they bother to code this this way in the first place
if they didn't want to plan on it being useful:
if I am correct, the microsoft compiler does the same thing, and it was in the
msdn documentation - until someone took it out.
this is for the ascii definition version. and I'm sure you can simply use a
regular function for the rest (and I thought about inline as a possibility for
the more complex stuff that needs real if statements).
I am having to code my own versions of these.

Computer memory/disk size measurements:
[KB KiB] [MB MiB] [GB GiB] [TB TiB]
[10^3B=1,000B=1KB][2^10B=1,024B=1KiB]
[10^6B=1,000,000B=1MB][2^20B=1,048,576B=1MiB]
[10^9B=1,000,000,000B=1GB][2^30B=1,073,741,824B=1GiB]
[10^12B=1,000,000,000,000B=1TB][2^40B=1,099,511,627,776B=1TiB]
Note: disk size is measured in MB, GB, or TB, not in MiB, GiB, or TiB.
computer
memory (RAM) is measured in MiB and GiB.
