For the vast majority of cases, that would indeed produce the result
that's probably expected.  (I mean, somebody doing (downcase "LATIN-1")
in code doesn't want the locale, anyway.)

But it means that downcasing a string in a buffer and saying (downcase
"THAT SAME STRING") gives us different results.

But perhaps that's the least bad solution?
