Has anyone here ever had a use case for toLower() where they actually wanted localization to apply?

Yes. In a system I'm about done with, there is a sortable chart of dates and times. In some languages day and month names are capitalized, and in some they are not.

How does that work? toUpper() can't possibly know that the string is a day or month name.
