I'm well aware of that command, since it's what's in place already. The
command that I put up for display processes a sequence much faster than the
current code for lower(). A test I ran, with all letters in caps, ran about 
twice as fast as the current code.

I kept the original code for doing atoms, since the guru.ex code doesn't work
so well with atoms for some reason

I'm hoping the code I posted earlier could become part of Euphoria some day, 
despite the fact that it's a good deal larger than the current lower()
command.
