It was an unintended feature. I tightened the checks on options to typeset to prevent some combinations that made no sense and could even lead to exceptions. I wasn't aware that typeset -nu and typeset -nl made sense at all. What it does is to first convert the value to upper or lower case, and then create the reference. I could allow u and l as -n modifiers and document the behavior. Let me know your opinions.
