Ok, that is the point I missed. I thought it was before all the letters
(upper and lower case). Everything else made perfect sense to me
(converting both to upper or lower case).

I would change the name of the nat_toupper to something like
"unify_case" or the like.

I would also remove the code that is now deactivated via "#if 0." Such
things always make me ask whether the author wanted to just temporarily
deactivate the code or ...? The similarity to the original code must not
necesserily be maintained in this particular case IMO. We should make
code easily readable and understandable instead.
