Getting rid of an include file would break a lot of code.
upper/lower can be done faster, but I like the extremely short,
and completely general versions in wildcard.e
In general, I like to implement library routines in Euphoria,
rather than enlarge the interpreter by coding them in C. 
The speed difference is usually not that bad compared 
to hand-coded C, especially when you use the EtoC Translator.
