Please have a look at http://bugs.python.org/issue6412 - that patch
addresses many casing issues, at least up the extent that we can
actually fix them without breaking code relying on:

len(s.upper()) == len(s)

for upper/lower/title.

If we add support for 1-n code point mappings, then we can only
enable this support by using an option to the casing methods (perhaps
not a bad idea: the parameter could be used to signal the local
to assume).
