But it is still a library one has to install in addition to Ruby. Somepeople who install Debian won't even have a compiler, and almostnobody has a compiler on Windows. Also note that unless you know the language you are processing youcannot get correct upcase/downcase. For one, in most languages usingLatin letters I is uppercase form of i. But I heared that in Turkishthey use both I, I with dot, i, and i without dot. Consequently, I isuppercase form of i without dot ..
