I believe that the reason for the local buffer is to hold a downcased
version of the input, which we can compare to the all-lower-case tables
of relevant keywords.  So plan A for fixing it is to downcase and
compare one token at a time, instead of downcasing the whole string
at once.

Plan B is to make the token comparison routines case-insensitive
themselves, so that there's no need for a temporary copy of the input.

Probably someone can think of plans C and D too ... I don't have any
strong allegiance to any one way to fix it.
