Okay, I'm confused. We've got a System V Release 1<n<2 system here, and
conv(3c) says that toupper is a function and _toupper is the macro.
We've got a Genix (4.1BSD) system that says toupper is a macro (and notes
that it is the same as SysV _toupper.) Turbo C agrees with SysV.

How many systems have it which way? (I know. It is unwise to depend on
"toupper" in portable programs...)
