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.
