[Description]
Translates uppercase characters to lowercase.

[Explanation]
_tolower does the same conversion as <A HREF="$$LINK(ctype.h/tolower)">tolower</A> or
<A HREF="$$LINK(ctype.h/toextlower)">toextlower</A>, except that it
should be used only when <I>c</I> is known to be uppercase (either ordinary
or foreign). It is faster, and
generates much shorter code than <A HREF="$$LINK(ctype.h/tolower)">tolower</A>. _tolower returns  the
converted value of <I>c</I> if it is uppercase; otherwise, the result is undefined.
_tolower is a simple macro.
