Discussed this with grubba Yesterday. I don't think upper_case should
do this. Besides sometimes (possibly supricingly) introducing more
characters in a string it would break the
    lower_case(upper_case(a)) == a
symmetry.

We should have a separate function for doing this in the Unicode
module, but I can't come up with a good name for
it. Unicode.upper_case() would not be particularly self
documenting. Unicode.special_upper_case()?
