How will that make things better? A user will see both toLower

Absolutely.
I don't even like names that are just kinda similar. Ruby, for
example, has `chop` and `chomp`. What's the difference? idk, I
have to look it up. (chop will also remove non-newlines from the
end)
At least toLower vs toLowerCase would have different types, so
the compiler can help explain which is which, but really, ugh.
BTW here's another outside-the-box idea.
eager = toLower
lazy = map!lowercase
Yes, just provide a function that works on chars and reuse map
for laziness.
