I won't oppose removal of that comment. However your commit message is
not quite to the point.

The comment poses the question of whether the conversion to upper case
done by the toupper() calls in the two lines following is actually
necessary. The fact that there is no breakage with the current code
does not answer that question. It could only be answered by *removing*
the toupper() calls and *then* checking for breakage.

However the cost of two toupper() calls seems so small that it's
hardly worth the effort and risk and we should just leave them in.

Tilman
