iswlower - test for lowercase wide character
#include <wctype.h>
int iswlower (wint_t wc);
The iswlower function is the wide-character equivalent of the islower
function. It tests whether wc is a wide character belonging to the wide
character class "lower".
The wide character class "lower" is a subclass of the wide character
class "alpha", and therefore also a subclass of the wide character
class "alnum", of the wide character class "graph" and of the wide
character class "print".
Being a subclass of the wide character class "print", the wide character
class "lower" is disjoint from the wide character class "cntrl".
Being a subclass of the wide character class "graph", the wide character
class "lower" is disjoint from the wide character class "space" and
its subclass "blank".
Being a subclass of the wide character class "alnum", the wide character
class "lower" is disjoint from the wide character class "punct".
Being a subclass of the wide character class "alpha", the wide character
class "lower" is disjoint from the wide character class "digit".
The wide character class "lower" contains at least those characters wc
which are equal to towlower(wc) and different from towupper(wc).
The wide character class "lower" always contains at least the letters
'a' to 'z'.
The iswlower function returns non-zero if wc is a wide character
belonging to the wide character class "lower". Otherwise it returns
zero.

The behaviour of iswlower depends on the LC_CTYPE category of the current
locale.
This function is not very appropriate for dealing with Unicode characters,
because Unicode knows about three cases: upper, lower and title
case.
