25.0.92; Upcasing a rectangular region of text |

0. emacs -Q
1. Eval: (put 'upcase-region 'disabled nil)
(put 'downcase-region 'disabled nil)
2. Visit the attached file.
3. Move point to just after the comma.
4. Define a *rectanguar* region: C-x <SPC> C-n C-e
5. Downcase the rectangular region: C-x C-l
6. Repeat steps #3 to #5, but this time for upcasing the region
instead of downcasing it ('C-x C-u' instead of 'C-x C-l').
The upcased text in the last step is not only the one marked by the
rectangular region. The upcasing command acts as if a linear
(i.e. non-rectangular) region was active at that moment.

Pushed to master.
