doesn't php have this exact problem with their case-insensitive (hate that btw) function/method names and turkish localization? or did they actually fix it at some point?

I'm guessing that they might have "fixed" it by implementing the ascii-only tolower function, but yes, PHP used to not work properly with Turkish localization.

Why do you think the interpreter needs such a function?
