BUGS
The details of what constitutes an uppercase or lowercase
letter depend on the current locale. For example, the
default "C" locale does not know about umlauts, so no con-
version is done for them.
In some non - English locales, there are lowercase letters
with no corresponding uppercase equivalent; the German
sharp s is one example.
