Actually, I think we should -- even if it 'just does what C does' I don't want
to have to adapt my C++ back to see everytime I need to uppercase a string.

And now for small bit of humor (found on the Web see P-38 Can Opener)

CAN OPENER DIRECTIONS 
Open blade.  Place opener
as    shown    in    diagram.
Twist   down   to  puncture
slot  in  can top inside rim.
Cut   top    by    advancing
opener   with  rocking mo-
tion. Take small bites.

I especially like the last bit of advice in the directions ;-)
