Would be nice indeed, but I don't think it will come: Linus shot down
similar patches in the past because to_lower may be easy to implement
for ascii, but once you want to implement it for all charsets supported
by the files system it gets very messy.

We are stuck with technology when what we really want is just stuff that
works. Some say that should read Microsoft instead of technology.
