To be precise, characters.el later adds Latin and other characters to
this standard case table.  The Lisp variable ascii-case-table makes a
copy of the standard case table before all this work is done.

(BTW, Emacs' default case table is internally named Vascii_case_table
in casetab.c.  This variable name is misleading because this case
table gets updated with non-ascii information with impunity.  So we
might want to rename this C variable to something more appropriate
(after the release).)
