This function is ambiguous. Is it asking for a lexical, character by character conversion to lowercase Or for a whole-word conversion For example, Greek capital Sigma has two lower case forms, one reserved for use as the terminal letter in a word. As written, it is not clear whether this function should be implemented to take that into consideration or not.

Proposed change: Clarify what it means to convert to lower case.
