And as for the D language and Phobos, should "ß" still uppercase to

listed there?
That particular function, is based upon the simple mappings provided by
UnicodeData.txt and (should be) in compliance of the Unicode standard.
The only thing we need to do is regenerate the tables backing it
whenever Unicode updates.
Note the behavior you are asking for is defined in the Unicode database
file SpecialCasing.txt which have not been implemented.
```
# The German es-zed is special--the normal mapping is to SS.
# Note: the titlecase should never occur in practice. It is equal to
titlecase(uppercase(<es-zed>))
00DF; 00DF; 0053 0073; 0053 0053; # LATIN SMALL LETTER SHARP S
```
That file is how you support languages like Turkish. We currently don't
have it implemented. It requires operating on a whole string and to pass
in what language rules to apply (i.e. Turkish, Azeri).
