Yes, and that would be fine with me (I actually wrote strbuf_tolower for my own use, and _then_ realized that we already had such a thing that
could be replaced).

Do we forbid that sb->buf[x] for some x < sb->len to be NUL, and if
there is such a byte we stop running tolower() on the remainder?

Christian brought this up elsewhere, and I agree it's probably better to work over the whole buffer, NULs included. I'm happy to re-roll (or you
can just pick up the version of the patch in this thread),

The only reason I brought up the code difference in the first place was that the comment was "This makes config's lowercase() function public" which made me expect to see basically the equivalent of replacing a "static" with an "extern", but actually the function being made public was a different implementation than config's lowercase() function. So it looks like the original PATCH 2/9 version of the code is best, but perhaps the comment can be tweaked a bit to not convey the same impression I got. Maybe something like "Replace config's lowercase() function with a public one".
