Ignoring, for the moment, the question of why the *kernel* should ever need to be able to in_general convert from lower- to uppercase, the problem is harder than you imply. Most of us think 'i' should become 'I' but I'm fairly sure that turkish speakers think it should be 'İ' (with a dot - 'I' for them is the uppercase version of 'ı' without a dot).
