 to_[lower/upper]_copy implicitly deduces the return type from the input
 type unless you supply the output as a second parameter. This is not
 always possible, consider for example: const std::string example =
 to_lower_copy< std::string >("foo") + to_upper_copy< std::string >("bar");
 . To achieve the same we currently need to construct an additional
 unnecessary temporary which only purpose is to inform the algorithm of the
 return type. The attached case_conv.hpp introduces 1 new overload for each
 variant which shouldn't break any existing code. Discussion can be found
