Feature #2350: Unicode specific functionality on String in 1.9

 I was wondering is there are any plans to include Unicode aware methods for Unicode encodings on String? For example, upcase and downcase only handle ASCII characters at the moment.
 
 cafe = "Caf��"
 cafe.encoding # => #<Encoding:UTF-8>
 "Caf��".upcase # => CAF��
