From formatting.c in 8.3.1:

#if defined(HAVE_WCSTOMBS) && defined(HAVE_TOWLOWER)
#define USE_WIDE_UPPER_LOWER
/* externs are in oracle_compat.c */
extern char *wstring_upper(char *str);
extern char *wstring_lower(char *str);

static char *localized_str_toupper(char *buff);
static char *localized_str_tolower(char *buff);
#else
#define localized_str_toupper str_toupper
#define localized_str_tolower str_tolower
#endif

So I assumed it was preferred. FWIW, str_tolower() doesn't work in
8.3, either (note that it is not declared in formatting.h the way it
is in CVS HEAD).

Best,
