I think that the original MB/Unicode support was made for japanese
language/characters, and AFAIK they don't even have the concept
(problem) of upper/lower case.
A question to the core - are there any plans to rectify this for less
fortunate languages/charsets?
Will the ASCII-speaking core tolerate the potential loss of performance
from locale-aware upper/lower ?
Will this be considered a feature or a bugfix (i.e. should we attempt to
fix it for 7.4) ?
