IIRC, this line right here gets you an empty character set, which will also
give you an empty set any time you make an intersection with anything:

so this one will get the intersection between ('a') and the empty set, which
will be the empty set:
> [remainder formIntersectionWithCharacterSet:aSet];
and ditto for this one. Note that even if remainder started out non-empty, it
wouldn’t have more than (‘a') in it after the first intersection, and since 'a'
is a member of lowerSet, being a lowercase letter, intersecting with [lowerSet
invertedSet] is still going to get you an empty set:
> [remainder formIntersectionWithCharacterSet:[lowerSet invertedSet]];
What exactly are you trying to do?
