1 C.4 German Sharp S
1 ==================
1
1 The German Sharp S or Eszett does not have an uppercase equivalent.
1 Instead when `ß' is converted to `SS'. The conversion of `ß' to `SS'
1 requires a special rule, and increases the length of a word, thus
1 disallowing inplace case conversion. Furthermore, my general rule of
1 converting all words to lowercase before looking them up in the
1 dictionary won't work because the conversion of `SS' to lowercase is
1 ambiguous; it can be `ss' or `ß'. I do plan on dealing with this
1 eventually.
