Also note, that because all ASCII characters are UTF-8 invariant (meaning they
have the exact same representation (always a single byte) whether encoded in
UTF-8 or not), C<isASCII> will give the correct results when called with any
byte in any string encoded or not in UTF-8. And similarly C<isASCII_utf8> and

+These all return the lowercase of a character. The differences are what domain
+they operate on, and whether the input is specified as a code point (those
+forms with a C<cp> parameter) or as a UTF-8 string (the others). In the latter
+case, the code point to use is the first one in the buffer of UTF-8 encoded
+code points, delineated by the arguments S<C<p .. e - 1>>.
+
+C<toLOWER> and C<toLOWER_A> are synonyms of each other. They return the
+lowercase of any uppercase ASCII-range code point. All other inputs are
+returned unchanged. Since these are macros, the input type may be any integral
+one, and the output will occupy the same number of bits as the input.
+
+C<toLOWER_L1> and C<toLOWER_LATIN1> are synonyms of each other. They behave
+identically as C<toLOWER> for ASCII-range input. But additionally will return
+the lowercase of any uppercase code point in the entire 0..255 range, assuming
+a Latin-1 encoding (or the EBCDIC equivalent on such platforms).
+
+C<toLOWER_LC> returns the lowercase of the input code point according to the
+rules of the current POSIX locale. Input code points outside the range 0..255
+are returned unchanged.
+
+C<toLOWER_uvchr> returns the lowercase of any Unicode code point. The return
+value is identical to that of C<toLOWER_L1> for input code points in the 0..255
+range. The lowercase of the vast majority of Unicode code points is the same
+as the code point itself. For these, and for code points above the legal
+Unicode maximum, this returns the input code point unchanged. It additionally
+stores the UTF-8 of the result into the buffer beginning at C<s>, and its
+length in bytes into C<*lenp>. The caller must have made C<s> large enough to
+contain at least C<UTF8_MAXBYTES_CASE+1> bytes to avoid possible overflow.
+
+NOTE: the lowercase of a code point may be more than one code point. The
+return value of this function is only the first of these. The entire lowercase
+is returned in C<s>. To determine if the result is more than a single code
+point, you can do something like this:
+
+ uc = toLOWER_uvchr(cp, s, &len);
+ if (len > UTF8SKIP(s)) { is multiple code points }
+ else { is a single code point }
+
+C<toLOWER_utf8> and C<toLOWER_utf8_safe> are synonyms of each other. The only
+difference between these and C<toLOWER_uvchr> is that the source for these is
+encoded in UTF-8, instead of being a code point. It is passed as a buffer
+starting at C<p>, with C<e> pointing to one byte beyond its end. The C<p>
+buffer may certainly contain more than one code point; but only the first one
+(up through S<C<e - 1>>) is examined. If the UTF-8 for the input character is
+malformed in some way, the program may croak, or the function may return the
+REPLACEMENT CHARACTER, at the discretion of the implementation, and subject to
+change in future releases.
