Doesn't seem like a good idea, because that locks us into an assumption
that the downcasing conversion doesn't change the string's physical
length.  There are a lot of counterexamples to that :-(.  I'm not sure
that we actually implement such cases correctly today, but let's not
build APIs that prevent it from being fixed.
