But of course this only works as-is for those lucky folks out there
whose character set is just [a-z][A-Z] The rest of us have a tougher
time with this one, though the principle is the same. Accommodating the
different mappings in the variant regions of the ISO-8859-n encodings is
great fun. And as for composed Unicode sequences that need normalization
and de-normalization...
