bro.bif.bro has

global to_lower: function(str: string): string;
global to_upper: function(str: string): string;

The string functions should really be renamed/namespaced to a more
consistent scheme because at the moment it's unfortunately a bit of a
pain to identify them. :(

I've recently added some string algorithms to my tree too, so I'd hope
there is hope! :)

Cheers,
