[erlang-bugs] Mismatch of string module and manual. to_upper, to_lower.

[Richard Kelsall]

The manual page for the string module here

http://www.erlang.org/doc/man/string.html

talks about functions to_lower and to_upper, but they don't seem to
work in my version of erl (v5.5). (Unless I prefix them with http_util:
rather than string:) I guess they have been removed from the string
module because they don't work for all unicode characters, but the
manual has not yet been updated.

A generic fix might be for somebody clever to write a program to
compare the manual entries against the functions exported from the
modules and highlight differences. Or tie them together somehow.
