Last time I tried a change like the above, I was told that strbufs
are
buffers that can contain NUL bytes. So maybe it should be:
for (p = sb-buf; p sb-buf + sb-len; p++)
*p = tolower(*p);
Hah. I wrote it like that originally, and in review was asked to
switch
it. I agree that it might be worth keeping strbuf functions 8bit-
clean.
The original intent of the strbuf code was to make C strings easier to
use, but I think we sometimes use them as general buffers, too.
I didn't see this patch before I sent the other email, but this is the
relevant part:

The only reason I brought up the code difference in the first place
was that the comment was This makes config's lowercase() function

replacing a static with an extern, but actually the function
being made public was a different implementation than config's
lowercase() function. So it looks like the original PATCH 2/9
version of the code is best, but perhaps the comment can be tweaked
a bit to not convey the same impression I got. Maybe something like
Replace config's lowercase() function with a public one.
Or even just delete the This makes config's lowercase() function
public line after switching the implementation back.
