The Greek alphabet does have upper and lower case variants. However, in
the case of typing 'qwerty' and 'QWERTY' using a Greek keyboard layout
then you get the strings:
qwerty = ;
and
QWERTY = :
Which (by virtue of the punctuation and the terminal sigma on q and w)
are definitely not the same when compared caselessly ;)
Mark.
i.e. Don't assume that shift-<letter> gives you an uppercase version of
<letter> in any keyboard layout.
