The locale module is all about doing things with the current process-global
Unix locale. I don't think that'd be an appropriate interface for this -- if
it's worth doing, it's worth doing in such a way that the same web server
process can handle requests for Turkish-, Lithuanian-, and Spanish-speaking
users without having to reset a global variable for each one.

I like this design.
I said "locale" above, but that wasn't quite right, I think -- the file says
e.g. `tr`, not `tr_TR` and `tr_CY`, and it describes the identifiers as
"language IDs". So perhaps
str.lower(*, lang=None)
? And then
"I".lower(lang="tr") == "ı" == "\N{Latin small letter dotless I}"
