True capital and lowercase glottal stop are coming in Unicode 4.1; they're
needed for some Canadian languages. However, it's still uncertain whether
the current glottal stop character, which looks capital but is currently
called lower case, will be identified with either or both of these.
So we may add just one character or a new casing pair.

"The exception proves the rule." Dimbulbs think: "Your counterexample proves
my theory." Latin students think "'Probat' means 'tests': the exception puts
the rule to the proof." But legal historians know it means "Evidence for an
exception is evidence of the existence of a rule in cases not excepted from."
