Hi, Ricardo!
Yes, my case_LA() function is twice as slower than standard upper() and
lower().
I tested them both just now.
I like to speed up things, but I have no this problem with conversion or
translation. I translate all bilingual EU libs into Latinic Russian in a
small
fraction of second and never wait a results.
Esc t or Esc e in red.ex and that final beep sounds.
I like your suggestion, but I just do not see the solution how to make
this way the stable templet for *any* alphabet now.
But case_LA() function is templet for any possible alphabet and any
code page just now, as far as I can see.
Some alphabets have no case at all, some alphabets have different
numbers of upper and lower letters.
For example, computer Russian has 3 extra letters in upper case, which
are absent in Russian canonical grammar.
But speed is good thing, yes, Ricardo.
Try, maybe you can make such a fast & simple templet.
For now, I can not imagine another possible function.
