[dev-context] Expandable lowercase/uppercase

12 May 2005

      Hi,

I'm thinking about adding two new primitives called \lccoded and
\uccoded, with the following rules for \lccoded (you have to imagine
a suitable reverse for \uccoded):

   \let\ea\expandafter
   \catcode`L=12
   \lccode`T=0
   \ea\def\ea\test\ea{\lccoded {Some Little Text \AE ?}}

make \test equal to

   \def\test{some Little Text \AE?}

so, no expansion occurs in the <general text> following \lccoded, and
only characters with
   \catcode == 11
as well as
   \lccode  <> 0
will be changed, and nothing else.

Would that be usable, or is something else/better needed?

Greetings, Taco
