I'm flaming this thread up, sorry :)

Yep, setting the ctype to C is not acceptable for Turkish language since we
have an exception in our alphabet that the uppercase of "i" is not "I", it's
"İ". And the lowercase of "I" is not "i", it's "ı".

If any programmer uses glibc provided tolower/toupper/strcmp/strncmp, it will
fail to convert, for example "join", "bits" etc.

"join" (toupper) "JOİN"
"bits" (toupper") "BİTS"

"JOIN" (tolower) "joın"
"BITS" (tolower) "bıts"

There are locale awareless string functions in glib mostly for this kind of
situations (g_ascii_tolower...).

Maybe we should use vim_tolower/vim_toupper functions for reserved word
conversions just to convert in C locale.
