I thought I tried it and it didn't work, but on retrying, I see that
is does work, partially. I.e., some letters change case, but not
others. The alphabet I'm working with is fairly exotic, viz. Coptic,
so I'm not supprised there are problems (in fact I'm surprised it
works even partially), so perhaps this qualifies as a bug?
I'm curious though, since upcase-word &al. are built-in, does that
mean that that the base Emacs code contains enormous correspondance
tables for the large number of Unicode code blocks that must exist?
