When using sqlite3 with the Turkish locale, cursor.lastrowid is not accessible after an insert statement if "INSERT" is upper case.

I believe that the cause is that the detect_statement_kind function [1] calls the locale-dependent C function tolower(). The Turkish locale specifies a different case mapping for I (to a dotless lowercase i: ı), so it's not recognised as an insert statement, which looks like it will cause the transaction to be committed immediately.

See also the discussion on issue 1813 [2], and a Redhat bug with a test case for this [3].
