| ANSI Common Lisp 13 Characters 13.2 Dictionary of Characters
13.2.15 upper-case-p, lower-case-p, both-case-p | Function
  Syntax:
  upper-case-p character | generalized-boolean
  lower-case-p character | generalized-boolean
  both-case-p character | generalized-boolean
  Arguments and Values: character - a character. generalized-boolean - a generalized boolean. Description: These functions test the case of a given character. upper-case-p returns true if character is an uppercase character; otherwise, returns false. lower-case-p returns true if character is a lowercase character; otherwise, returns false. both-case-p returns true if character is a character with case; otherwise, returns false. Examples:
       (upper-case-p #\A)  true
       (upper-case-p #\a)  false
       (both-case-p #\a)  true
       (both-case-p #\5)  false
       (lower-case-p #\5)  false
       (upper-case-p #\5)  false
       ;; This next example presupposes an implementation
       ;; in which #\Bell is an implementation-defined character.
       (lower-case-p #\Bell)  false
Exceptional Situations: Should signal an error of type type-error if character is not a character. See Also: char-upcase, char-downcase, Section 13.1.4.3 Characters With Case, Section 13.1.10 Documentation of Implementation-Defined Scripts Allegro CL Implementation Details: None.
