Not with a string. I suppose if you had your own class you could create
something, but you'd be doing the same thing behind the scenes.

Is there any particular reason why you don't like doing it? It's explicit
and easy to understand - saying that you want the lowercase version of the
string, but you don't care about the original string.

At least that's my take on it,
