Better issue when .str used instead of .data #12

fn to_upper(s string) -> string {
    unsafe {
        mut b := mem.alloc(s.len + 1)
        for i in 0 .. s.len {
            if s.str[i] >= `a` && s.str[i] <= `z` {
                b[i] = s.str[i] - 32
            } else {
                b[i] = s.str[i]
            }
        }
        b[s.len] = 0
        return tos(b)
    }
}
